'Relentless Cyclones' Continue to Batter US State of California
News 18A “relentless parade of cyclones” hitting the US state of California was expected to shift farther to the north, the US National Weather Service said Thursday, as the region continued to struggle with massive floods and landslides. “The heaviest rains are expected to impact northwestern California through the next couple of days with a few inches of rain possible,” the National Weather Service warned. “It was amazing to watch how much debris and timber was flowing down the creek.” California Governor Gavin Newsom, who visited weather-wrecked Capitola on Tuesday, said the relentless storms meant that even lesser downpours could be problematic. And now just more modest amounts of precipitation could add as equal or greater impact in terms of the conditions on the ground.” ‘We will search until we find him’ More than 35,000 homes and businesses were without power in California early on Thursday, according to tracking site Poweroutage.us, and there have been tragedies across the state.
