From the North Bay to the Santa Cruz mountains and beyond, the effects of the Pineapple Express are causing trouble. Crews are working to clean up the mess before the next storm hits.
Flooding and downed trees have caused multiple road closures and damage to homes as yet another storm brews in the background.
Several roads in the North Bay were shut down due to the flooding. Rohnert Park Expressway in Rohnert Park was one of them. A spokesperson for the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety said the thoroughfare is closed between Rancho Verde Circle and Stony Point Road until further notice. Highway 12 at Stony Point Road was also closed Friday, and officials in the area are urging people to avoid unnecessary travel. Niles Canyon Road is one of many roadways closed in the Bay Area after the latest atmospheric river dumped loads of moisture. KTVU's Roberta Gonzales reports from the East Bay.
Down south in Monterey County, thousands of people are without power. Strong winds and rain left a mess in the area. In Soquel, crews were working to reconnect the town that had been divided by flooded Main Street. Hundreds of residents were cut from the rest of the city after the road collapsed.
