Monterey Peninsula could become an island as epic flooding engulfs California cities. And more rain

is on the way

Monterey Peninsula residents could soon be living on an island as mammoth flooding threatens to cut them off from the rest of California.

The state has been hammered by a cascade of atmospheric rivers – long, narrow regions in the atmosphere that can carry moisture thousands of miles.

At least 18 people have died, neighborhoods have turned into lakes, and countless homes have been destroyed as a string of storms toppled trees and paralyzed communities over the past two weeks.

The Salinas River, which opens into Monterey Bay, floods Wednesday. - KSBW
But a sliver of good news emerged Thursday: The nearly relentless rainfall has lifted much of California out of “extreme drought” conditions.

I hope the rain stays away for awhile as my fence needs to be fixed.

Lots of other peoples home, etc. need to be fixed as well.

Lots of damage everywhere!
