Rescuers called off the search for a 5-year-old boy swept away in floodwaters as powerful winter storms continued to pummel Northern California.
More than 400,000 customers were without power in California as the latest powerful winter storm pushed through, elevating flooding danger.Southbound Highway 17 was blocked between San Jose and Santa Cruz, as was both north and southbound U.S. 101, just south of Gilroy, at Highway 25. Areas in the Santa Cruz Mountains along Highway 9 between Santa Clara County and Santa Cruz were largely closed due to flooding and landslides.
Bartender Jeff Ferreira, 56 — son of bar owner Judy Ferreira — said JJ’s Saloon has been flooded three times since New Year’s Eve. The worst, he said, was last week when the river rose and flooded downtown. He pointed to photos on his phone showing water in the back parking lot that had gone up and over the back stairs to the bar.
Joshua Fisher, a property manager in downtown Capitola, said a few of his buildings were inundated — including the Left Coast Sausage Worx on San Jose Avenue — a block from the beach. At Robles del Rio in the Carmel Valley, the river had risen to 11.65 feet, above the flood stage at 8½ feet. Swain noted the atmospheric river is kind of “draped along the Central Coast” with the heaviest rainfall from about Monterey County into Santa Barbara County, although there are also heavy rains extending southwest and northeast, he said. One big concern is that the atmospheric river is going to slow down a bit along the Central Coast, bringing instability that may maximize rainfall rates.
