More heavy rain and wind gusts of up to 60 mph are expected in northern California Wednesday following several heavy atmospheric river events that drenched the state in wave after wave of powerful, deadly storms.
At least 17 people have died in the storms with damage likely exceeding a billion dollars. More than 53,000 customers still had no electricity Wednesday morning, according to poweroutage.us.
Those power outages are far fewer than on Tuesday, when about five times as many customers had power outages.
In Santa Cruz Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom surveyed the damage from the severe winter weather as storms were forecast to continue for at least another week. He warned that the storms will continue until Jan. 18.
