Victims and destruction from floods / California is expected to be hit by a

In northern California, residents of the Central Valley are bracing for another wave of powerful storms this week. Heavy rains on New Year's Eve caused flooding, killing one person and forcing the evacuation of residents in low-lying areas. The National Weather Service says the north was hit by a powerful weather system with rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains.

Rreshje të tjera të fuqishme pritet të godasin pjesën veriore të Kalifornisë, duke rënduar situatën në zonat e përmbytura nga stuhia e disa ditëve më parë. Fenomeni i njohur si “lum atmosferik” solli rreth 13 centimetra shi në Luginën e Sakramentos dhe 30 centimetra borë në male, sipas Sherbimit Kombëtar të Motit.
Të dielën, rritja e nivelit të ujërave bëri që zyrtarët lokalë të urdhëronin evakuimin e banorëve pranë lumit Cosumnes në pjesën jugore të Sakramentos. Gjithashtu mbi 1 mijë të burgosur u evakuuan nga zona dhe u dërguan në një objekt tjetër.
E mërkura dhe e enjtja pritet të sjellin një tjetër sistem të fuqishëm atmosferik me rreth 8 centimera shi në luginë dhe afro një metër borë në male. Sipas parashikimeve, erërat do të kenë një shpejtësi prej rreth 80 kilometrash në orë.
The storms are expected to continue through the weekend. The forecast calls for snow in the mountains and rain in the northern California plains.

Rainfall in the city of San Francisco reached 13.87 inches on New Year's Eve, the second heaviest since the November floods of 1994, according to the National Weather Service.
Rescuers helped many motorists stranded on highways on New Year's Eve, while one victim was found in a car submerged in raging waters.

Electricity has been restored for the vast majority of about 150,000 residents who lost power due to the storm. However, the rain was needed for drought-stricken California in recent years. Most of that state's main reservoirs were at historically low levels./ VOA
