Nine powerful atmospheric rivers delivered about 24.5tn gallons of water across the state, causing over $1bn dollars worth of damage
on Tuesday, signaling a hopeful end to extreme downpours that drenched the Golden State. The nine powerful atmospheric rivers that bore down in quick succession over the last three weeks – dropping an estimated 24.5tn gallons of water across California from 26 December to 11 January – left death and disaster in their wake.
But, even as the clouds cleared this week, there’s another storm swirling over the Pacific that could gain enough strength to become California’s tenth atmospheric river. A shot of precipitation from a quick system was also predicted for Wednesday or Thursday, the National Weather Service said. As some communities across California brace for more, others are using the dry reprieve to begin the arduous cleanup process. The state saw more than 500 landslides since New Year’s Eve according to the California Geological Survey, and many transportation corridors remain closed or slowed due to the damage and debris.
