In the North Bay, this weekend's round of rain and wind has, so far, not been as damaging as the atmospheric river storm system that hit the region earlier this month. But it has still caused a mess, bringing down trees, knocking out power for some, and flooding several area roadways. "We were reading in the living room…and then we saw some sparking," said Bonnie McDonell, who lost power when a large tree came down onto power lines outside her home in Sebastopol on Sunday evening.
A powerful atmospheric river system earlier in the month left many trees in the region with weakened root systems and in over-saturated soil. As the rain came down during the day, occasionally in sheets, several roadways also became inundated."There’s a lot of water on those roads, yeah there’s a lot of water," said McDonell.Ahead of the storm, some roadways prone to flooding and mudslides were preemptively shut down.
