Another round of storms is heading to flood-ravaged California, where residents are still grappling with impassable roads, overflowing rivers, inundated neighbourhoods and a levee breach that forced hundreds to evacuate.
About 15 million people remain under flood watches in California and Nevada as the storm approaches.
Starting Monday night, "the rain will impact increasingly sensitive portions of central California that were hit hard by the rainfall on Friday and early Saturday," the said. As a result, it "won't take long once the steady heavy rain gets started for flooding impacts to resume." Some people weren't able to evacuate before the floodwater arrived, and crews were still out performing high-water rescues Saturday, Cal Fire Capt. Curtis Rhodes told CNN.Many Pajaro residents are farm workers who may not only lose property, but also not be able to make a living for some time if the continued flooding impacts agriculture, Alejo said.As residents crowd emergency shelters, efforts to stop the flooding from the breach are complicated by the approaching second atmospheric river.
Emergency crews have rescued more than 90 people in Monterey County, Sheriff Tina Nieto said. "We even rescued a man floating down one of the areas in a tube with his pet on top of him," she said.
