California Braces for 100mph Winds and 12ft of Snow in Intense Storm
California is currently facing the brunt of a powerful storm, with 100mph winds and heavy snowfall causing chaos across the state. The storm, which began over the weekend, has already dropped over 7ft of snow in some areas, leading to the closure of highways and ski resorts. The blizzard-like conditions have made it extremely dangerous for people to venture out, with whiteout conditions prevalent in mountainous regions.
While the worst of the storm has passed through the Sierra Nevada by Monday morning, the National Weather Service office in Sacramento has predicted that more snow is on its way. Scattered thunderstorms are also likely, and higher elevations could see an additional 2 feet of snow. Communities in the region are currently digging out from under the snowdrifts, some of which have reached the roofs of homes and trapped people inside.
Despite the challenges posed by the storm, power has mostly been restored to the affected areas. Over the weekend, more than 40,000 homes experienced power outages, but by Monday, that number had significantly decreased to around 7,500. However, utility tracker poweroutage.us reports that there are still customers without power.
