The wider storm

An atmospheric river brought widespread high winds and rain, leading to significant damage, power outages, and injuries.

Impacts were compounded by an earlier system that resulted in widespread damage, some areas of the Monterey Peninsula lost power again after having lost power for days from the previous system.
