RECAP: Northern California Flooding Kills One, Triggers Rescues and Evacuations

Heavy rain and repeated atmospheric rivers triggered widespread flooding across Northern California over the weekend, killing one person in Redding and prompting rescues and evacuations across the region. Rising rivers and overflowing creeks inundated communities, stranding vehicles and forcing swift-water rescues. In Placer County, emergency crews rescued a baby in a carrier and nine people after the South Yuba River overtook a home. Flooding also impacted Mendocino and Humboldt counties, where roads turned into rivers of muddy water and animals were left stranded. Authorities urged residents to avoid travel and warned motorists not to cross flooded roadways.
