More than 9,000 California residents were under evacuation orders Friday as a new atmospheric river brought heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds, swelling rivers and creeks and flooding several major highways during the morning commute.
In Santa Cruz County, a creek bloated by rain destroyed a portion of Main Street in Soquel, a town of 10,000 people, isolating several neighborhoods.

And if it hadn’t stopped there, it would have taken out a bridge

Yes. Also called clouds.
I was in central california in 1994 and they had severe floods back then and they still do not have enough reservoirs and all that water is going straight out to the ocean.

So California will not be able to recover from all that criminal activity.
