The Bay Area began cleaning up Thursday from a punishing storm that left tens of thousands of people in the dark, flooded coastal businesses and killed two people, even as two more atmospheric river storms line up in the Pacific, poised to hit California in the coming days.
Utility crews raced to restore power to large chunks of the Bay Area as officials in the region’s urban centers reported hundreds of downed trees and numerous washed-out roads from the latest powerful atmospheric river to roar ashore this week. To the west — most notably in Capitola and Rio del Mar along the Santa Cruz coast — one of the largest storm surges in recent memory caused significant damage to waterfront businesses and tourist attractions.
The damage assessments came as meteorologists warned of more rain in the forecast over the next several days, with a parade of storms marching across the Pacific Ocean toward Northern California promising to further inundate the Bay Area this weekend and early next week.

“Be ready for more heavy rainfall with high probability of flooding, especially as we go into early next week,” said Rick Canepa, a National Weather Service meteorologist. “Just be prepared, try to do as much storm prep as you can. I know it’s a bit relentless.”
Unlike previous systems to hit the region over the last couple of weeks, the storm that hit Wednesday and Thursday brought punishing winds that gusted to 101 mph in central Marin County on Wednesday evening. In Oakland and San Francisco, the wind gusts of about 60 mph tore through each city — dislodging drought-weakened trees into power lines and onto roadways.
Across the state, some 440,000 Pacific Gas & Electric customers lost power during the storm, the utility provider announced. By Thursday afternoon, 115,000 people remained in the dark, a figure that was expected to drop to 75,000 by the end of the day. In the Bay Area, more than 66,000 people remained without power at 2 p.m. Thursday, including about 24,000 people in the North Bay and 17,000 people in the Peninsula. Another 15,000 people remained in the dark in the East Bay, while nearly 8,000 people were left without power in the South Bay. About 2,200 people were without power in San Francisco.
Authorities in the North Bay blamed the storm for two fatalities, one of them a toddler. The 2-year-old boy, who has not been identified, died in the Sonoma County town of Occidental on Wednesday night after a tree fell into a mobile home, Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Juan Valencia said Thursday.

The boy was sitting on the couch in the living room at about 5:15 a.m. when he was crushed, Valencia said. Fire paramedics tried to revive the child with CPR and other live-saving efforts, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 19-year-old woman also died Wednesday morning when her vehicle hydroplaned on a standing patch of water and slammed into a pole in Fairfield, local authorities said.
The potent system was fueled by a “bomb cyclone” — a swirling area of intense low pressure that churned in the Pacific before slamming into the West Coast, sending a swell of moisture into California that was accompanied by dangerously strong winds.
The storm dropped 4 to 6 inches of rain in the Santa Cruz Mountains and 1 to 2 inches across much of the rest of the Bay Area, including San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco.
Across the Peninsula, the East Bay and the South Bay, local emergency response officials voiced relief that their most dire fears about the storm failed to materialize. Even so, they raced to make repairs ahead of the next deluge.
“Overall, we’ve fared pretty well,” said Leslie Arroyo, a spokesperson for the City of South San Francisco, after the community largely endured only downed trees and a toppled gas station canopy. “We’re pleased with how things have been very minimal.”
In East Palo Alto, workers drained water from the large subterranean garage at the 160-unit Woodland Park Apartments, where cars flooded up to their wheel wells Saturday. Shoveling deep mud from an adjacent sidewalk, one worker, who asked not to be identified, said that “it’s a lot of work — it’s extensive.”
Almost 300 trees fell in San Francisco over a 24-hour period ending at 6 a.m. Thursday, according to Department of Public Works spokesperson Rachel Gordon. In the West Portal neighborhood, one of those trees knocked down 500 feet of bus lines, forcing riders to be rerouted while crews worked to restore service.
In East Oakland, a roughly 40-foot section of a eucalyptus tree fell on a two-story, eight-unit apartment complex Wednesday evening at the end of Lynde Street, along Peralta Creek. The hole allowed rain to pour in and flood the homes, forcing the complex to be evacuated.

As daylight broke Thursday, Victoria James marveled at how her family narrowly avoided tragedy. A 10-year resident of the building, James recalled being with six other members of her family in their second-floor unit when they felt a strong shaking and saw the lights go out.
“We thought it was a 6.9 earthquake,” said James, 39, after getting her first daylight look at the damage. “We had to leave right away because the tree was going to block the door. We left with what was on our backs.”
James, like several of her other neighbors, had moved to a local hotel with hotel with her family — and she shuddered at how they narrowly avoided tragedy.
“These trees should have been cut down a long time ago,” James said. She and another decade-long resident, Patty Bigornia, voiced concerns that local officials did not do enough to mitigate the tree risk, despite residents having raised concerns about it in the past.
“I’m just glad nobody was hurt,” said Bigornia, 54. “But this was 100% preventable.”
Several roads remained washed out or closed due to debris Thursday, including nearly a dozen in Santa Clara County.

The next round of rain should arrive late Friday evening, dropping light to moderate rain through the weekend, said Canepa. A second, more powerful atmospheric river should arrive late Sunday night — bringing even more potential for flooding to the waterlogged Bay Area.
“Everything is saturated. The soils can’t really handle hardly any more,” Canepa said.

A powerful winter storm that blasted Northern California with strong winds and heavy rain, knocking out power, toppling trees, including one that killed a toddler, and flooding homes and businesses along the coast in Santa Cruz, continued its march through the region Thursday.
While the brunt of the storm has passed, scattered showers and possible thunderstorms will linger through the northern swath of the state as the atmospheric river — fed by a plume of subtropical water vapor at the lower and middle levels of the atmosphere — moves east.
Forecasters are keeping watch over flooding triggered by massive waves along the coast and in inland areas where water continues to rise along creeks, streams and rivers. Another series of storms is expected to hit the region over the weekend, bringing the potential for more strong winds and heavy rain.
The strong weather system triggered high tides and giant waves along the coast of Santa Cruz County early Thursday, destroying sections of the pier in the seaside town of Capitola and another in Seacliff. The Santa Cruz Wharf was evacuated Thursday morning as waves reaching up to 20 feet pummeled the structure and officials warned spectators to seek shelter.
When Emma Simpkins, 23, an employee at the Picnic Basket near the Santa Cruz Wharf, arrived at the restaurant with her co-worker around 6:30 a.m., waves were breaking all the way up to the sidewalk.
In her five years in Santa Cruz, Simpkins said she’s never seen waves as large as the ones that pummeled the shore Thursday.
“I was here for the tsunami a few months ago and even then it wasn’t this bad,” she said.
By noon, the tide was receding along Santa Cruz’s coast line. The waves were still big, however — pounding into the cliffs along West Cliff Drive, which was closed because of high surf and erosion concerns.
Onlookers stood along the fence and in the park surrounding the city’s iconic surfer statue of the city. Down at the Boardwalk, logs and debris were pushed up to the fence line, just below the amusement park platform — making the beach seem more Olympic Peninsula in Washington state than California surf haven.
At the base of the San Lorenzo River, huge swells carried surfers upriver, below the railroad trestle and toward downtown.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Andrea Prost, who lives in Scotts Valley but had driven to the coast with her dog, Shelby, to check out the scene. A transplant from Southern California, she’s lived in the area for 16 years.
“The tide has gone down a bit, but the waves are still pretty incredible,” she said.
In Capitola, high tides and massive waves inundated businesses with water, prompting officials to evacuate thousands of residents. Police Chief Andy Dally said during a news conference that the flooding was triggered by a 5.6-foot high tide combined with a swell and rain runoff from the storm.
“Businesses sustained significant damage down in the village,” he said.
Videos of the scene show torrents of water surging into seaside homes and businesses that had been boarded up in advance of the storm.
Onlookers along Cliff Drive gasped and pointed at the wreckage below. The pier, broken in two, and the small, now damaged restaurants along the beach — including Zelda’s — with windows boarded with wood.
Kevin Bonn, 21, and Austen Solve, 19, know the area well. They live in the mountains nearby — and visit the town frequently.
“None of this looked like this” two days ago, said Bonn.
“That?” said Solve, pointing to the broken pier. “Yeah, that’s new.”
The weather service issued a high surf advisory for the section of coast north of Monterey Bay through early Friday, warning of waves up to 22 feet and hazardous ocean conditions.
Intense downpours — coming after an earlier deluge days ago — that lashed Northern California on Wednesday pushed some rivers toward flood stage, prompting a string of evacuations from towns along the Russian River to communities in Santa Cruz County and beyond.
The storm has already dumped 2 to 3 inches of rain across the San Francisco Bay Area, and isolated showers are expected to add to that total through Thursday evening. Downtown San Francisco had the wettest 10-day period since 1871. Between Dec. 26 and Wednesday, back-to-back storms dumped 10.33 inches of rain in the downtown area, according to the National Weather Service.
Roughly an inch of rain fell over a 24-hour period across much of the Sacramento area as of early Thursday, less than forecasters initially expected. The rainfall mostly led to flooding in urban areas, though forecasters will continue to monitor river levels, said Scott Rowe, a lead meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
“It’s going to remain wet and unsettled for the coming days,” he said. “Through the weekend and next week we’re expecting at least two, three, possibly even more storms to be impacting Northern California, so it’s something we’re keeping a close eye on.”
Communities along the coast and adjacent to swelling rivers continue to face the highest risk.
Sonoma County issued an evacuation warning for residents living near the Russian River, including those in Guerneville, Monte Rio, Rio Nido and downstream of Healdsburg.
As the rain stopped Thursday evening, nearly a dozen people came to the bridge over the river in Monte Rio to marvel at the rushing water — which whisked large trees and an overturned boat past onlookers.
Forecasters no longer project that the river in Guerneville will flood Friday, as it is now expected to peak in the morning at 26.2 feet, below the flood stage level of 32 feet. But the danger is not completely passed, as water levels could rise further with the arrival of weekend rains and as runoff continues to pour into rivers, creeks and streams.
“We were anticipating a peak this morning, but the fact of the matter is we got a little less rainfall than we thought we were going to get out of this storm,” said Cindy Palmer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in the Bay Area.
The Hopland area of the Russian River had exceeded flood stage as of Thursday morning, according to Brett Whitin, a hydrologist at the California Nevada River Forecast Center.
“It’s not as high as it was in the New Year’s Eve flood,” Whitin said. “It’s a lower-level type of flooding going on there.”
He said the forecast center is anticipating more severe flooding during the upcoming storms through the weekend and next week.
“The Sacramento River will definitely see some flood stages exceeded,” he said. “The Cosumnes River that had the levee breaks, that could see flood stage again next week. There’s that threat of exceeding flood stages at quite a few locations across the northern coast and the Sacramento valley system.”
In San Jose, authorities are closely watching possible flooding that could affect populated areas, including along Ross Creek at Cherry Avenue, Upper Penitencia Creek at Mabury and King roads, and Guadalupe River at West Alma Avenue. Elsewhere in Santa Clara County, officials issued evacuation warnings around the Pacheco Pass River Basin and Uvas Reservoir.
Strong winds were responsible for much of the damage reported overnight. A 101-mph gust was reported along Pablo Point in the Marin County mountains, and winds in other areas reached 90 mph, meteorologists said.
The force of the wind left tens of thousands without power and knocked over a gas station canopy in South San Francisco. Pacific Gas & Electric CEO Patti Poppe said in a statement that more than 170,000 lost power across Northern and Central California in what she called “one of the most powerful storms in recent memory.”
Roughly 1,800 PG&E workers were working to restore power Thursday, but repairs could take more than 24 hours.
All around Sonoma County, roads were blocked by downed trees, and deenergized power lines knocked loose by tumbling branches swung above darkened homes and businesses.
“Jiminy Christmas, I’ve never seen the winds so strong,” said Richard Cappell, 68, who lives on a ridge above the town of Occidental. He stood on his front porch Thursday, the hum of a generator almost drowning out the sound of the rain.
Down the hill in Occidental, the Altamont General Store was filled with people who had come in to get warm and use the available electricity to charge their phones and other electronics.
Resident Susan Gray said she heard some people are expected to be out for up to two weeks.
“I expect to lose power every year,” she said. “It’s been a while since we’ve (lost it) for this long.”
At least two people, including a toddler, have been killed in the storm, according to law enforcement.
In Solano County, a 19-year-old woman died when she lost control of her car and hit a utility pole in heavy rain Wednesday morning. That evening, a 2-year-old boy was killed when a tree fell on his home in Occidental, a community in Sonoma County.
The brunt of the storm moved through Southern California early Thursday, but showers will continue through the day.
The cold front and heaviest rainfall moved through the Los Angeles area around midnight, dropping about 1 to 2 inches of rain at lower elevations and 2 to 5 inches of rain at higher elevations, meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Oxnard said.

VFW Post 9242 members, their wives, local business, clubs and churches stepped up to help northern San Benito County flooding evacuees on Jan. 4, and again Jan. 16 and 17. Even as the mostly older vets and volunteers were doing what they could to provide comfort and meals for nearly two dozen displaced people, Bernie Ramirez, co-vice-chair of the VFW post, told BenitoLink he felt the county fell short in communication and support.
After receiving a call from Maria Spandri, manager of the Veterans Memorial building, Ramirez said the veterans from the VFW post and American Legion Post 69 showed up first to deliver cots and other supplies to the Red Cross. Later their wives came in to cook meals.
He said there was a serious lack of communication.
While he does speak Spanish, Ramirez said the Red Cross volunteers who were there the majority of the time by themselves did not. He said no one from the county showed up the first two days to help. Ramirez said many who live in the Lovers Lane area are field workers who do not speak English and when they evacuated and found their way to the Veterans Memorial building, no one could communicate with them.
He said initially there was no organized effort from the county.
“When people are going to evacuate, they need to know exactly who’s going to run the show and how it’s going to be done,” he said. “I don’t know if there’s anyone to blame but the veterans came out and helped. They’re even there today [Jan. 16, Martin Luther King Day] helping and cooking tonight.” Martin Luther King Day is a holiday for government agencies.
When the Red Cross volunteers signed in the evacuees on more than one occasion children acted as translators between them and their parents.
David Gutierrez, the local disaster action team leader who is a lifelong Hollister resident and a 20-year Red Cross volunteer, said while his mission is to provide food, a place to sleep, and basic necessities, the county has the overall responsibility for providing services. He said in the two days he was at the Veterans building, no one from the Office of Emergency Services (OES) showed up.
Gutierrez said he was also present during the 2018 floods and many who lived in the Lovers Lane area then and now didn’t want to leave their homes.
“When some people went back to their homes [in 2018] they had been broken into and they were robbed,” he said. “But I think most just don’t want to be out of the safety of their dwellings.”
“OES is not responsible for communication sharing during this incident to the community,” said Monica Leon, public information officer for the county, in an email. “They are actively working the incident from the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).” Leon said her department is responsible for communications with the media and public.
On Jan 12, evacuees arrived at a closed Veterans Memorial Building, which had been the emergency shelter, to find a sign with phone numbers to various agencies. There was no reference to the Recreation Center, which opened as the emergency shelter Jan. 14 and was first announced via a Nixle notification at 5:29 p.m. that evening.
“I just don’t get it why our community is experiencing so much confusion, frustration and disjointed approaches to this dire situation when the fact is that our community has experienced this crisis previously,” San Benito County Supervisor Bea Gonzalez said. “Didn’t we learn anything from the previous flood?”
Supervisor Kollin Kosmicki said OES is “working very hard under extremely difficult circumstances” and “they are doing their best to help local victims get through this challenging time, and they are working around the clock to do so.”
Leon said flood alerts andemergency notifications were posted on the county’swebsite, throughInstagram, Facebook, Nixle, Code Red and reverse 911. All were based on the assumption that residents are monitoring them and that they can understand English. County personnel went door-to-door on Jan. 14 in the Lover’s Lane area handing out flyers in English and Spanish concerning possible evacuations.
Volunteers said it was a lack of Spanish-speaking officials that brought about the disconnect at the evacuation centers.
“It really pissed me off that these people came in and nobody was there to instruct them what to do, where to go, and what’s going to happen,” Ramirez said. “These people are already being taken out of their homes, they don’t know what’s going on, and there’s nobody there to communicate. It’s just not right. I was the only one who could speak Spanish, so I helped people as much as I could and gave some my personal phone number so they could call me if they needed something.”
Spandri said despite the lack of communication with the county, veterans and the community came through. She said Jim Lewis, from Hollister High School, brought breakfast sandwiches, chicken and fries and Linda Lampe with Hollister Community Outreach supplied clothing. Several real estate agents contributed $1,000 gift cards to Target, T.J. Maxx and Ross.
“The Women’s Club gave me $1,000 for two families,” Spandri told BenitoLink. “Girl Scouts brought in fruits and games. Hollister Super provided dinner tonight. We had this very generous family that donated blankets, pillows and towels, and $500 in gift cards. Target donated 10 pillows. And the Community Food Bank has been very generous with produce and snacks.”

Rio del Mar residents ordered to evacuate, 6:30 p.m.:
Rio del Mar sisters-in-law Mary and Maureen Sztenderowicz, both in their 70s, were obeying a mandatory evacuation order issued Wednesday afternoon by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office, for low-lying areas of the beachside town just down the coast from Santa Cruz, where Aptos Creek meets the ocean.
“We don’t want to be stuck and not able to get out,” Mary said.
Maureen added, “Health issues are another factor.”
The two planned to stay for a night or two with a relative in Santa Cruz.
But Theresa Hosking, 71, said she planned to ride out the storm from her Rio del Mar home near the beach and Aptos Creek.
“I’m not worried,” said Hosking, who lives with her adopted grandsons, 16 and 17. “If it starts getting bad I only have maybe a quarter of a mile to walk to get out of the flood.”
Hosking said she had her important documents in two storage containers, and if she has to flee with her grandsons, they’ll grab their dog, the containers and her phone.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office deputies were posting red evacuation orders outside homes in the Rio del Mar flatlands Wednesday afternoon. “We’re not going to make people leave,” said Deputy Ryan York. Instead, deputies are telling people that if they don’t evacuate, they may not be able to get help in case of emergency, York said.
Of primary concern was Aptos Creek, York said. Although the waterway was not raging Wednesday afternoon, ocean swells and tides — both forecasted to be very high Wednesday night and Thursday morning, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — are expected to surge in, and by blocking outflow of stream water, raise the creek’s level even higher, York said.

Although floodwaters from a raging Soquel Creek had muddied her patio on the weekend, she was more worried about trees falling on her home in what is expected to be a bigger storm Wednesday night and Thursday, she said.
“The trees were really snapping and cracking the other night,” Wilson said.
