Storms bash California
NZPA-AP Los Angeles Hundreds fled rising water in sandbagged and storm-weary California yesterday and a continuing barrage of floods, mudslides, avalanches,
and battering surf in the American west left three people dead and three missing. In California’s Sierra Nevada two huge rockslides shut the Interstate 80 highway and a
mudslide blocked an Amtrak passenger train with about 600 people aboard. Heavy snow and wind caused avalanches that closed several other highways in the mountains of the west.
The mudslide at Emigrant Gap forced the westbound California Zephyr train to’ halt in Truckee, awaiting either clear tracks or buses to carry its passengers on to Oakland.
