Rains force West Coast evacuation
The Associated Press
Thousands of people were evacuated on the West Coast yesterday as the heaviest rain in 31 years forced rivers from their banks. Landslides blocked major highways, and railroads and heavy snow triggered killer avalanches.
At least seven people were killed and six were missing since the first in a series of storms struck the area a week ago. Since then, up to 19 inches of rain has fallen on parts of California. About 9 feet of snow has fallen in some mountains.
More than 3,000 residents of Northern California, their homes flooded or threatened by slides, were in evacuation centers. National Guardsmen were called out to help in California and northwestern Nevada, where more people were forced from their homes. Flooding also caused damage in parts of Utah.
California Gov. George Deukmejian declared states of emergency yesterday in Napa, Sonoma and Humboldt counties, the first step toward making the counties eligible for federal disaster assistance.
"We have evacuated everybody, so far, that needs to be evacuated," Napa County Red Cross disaster chairwoman, Doris Zylkins, said.
"Napa's really isolated. We have slides or torrents on all highways, in and out. I don't think anybody can get into Napa right now."
Twenty-four-hour rainfall in parts
of the Coast Range in Napa and Sonoma counties exceeded 8 inches, with 11.15 inches at Atlas-Dutra in Napa, the weather service said. Kenfeltt in Marin County had about 19 inches of rain since Feb. 12, the agency said, and the Heavenly Valley ski resort reported 9 feet of snow. In Utah, Wellsville had 10.56 inches of rain in five days, and Bald Mountain, Idaho, got nearly 50 inches of snow.
The 1,350 residents of Hamilton City, Calif., were advised to evacuate as the Sacramento River rose to within a foot of the top of eroding levees, said Dan Roach of the U.S. Forest Service.
Nevada Gov. Richard Bryan declared a state of emergency in
Washoe, Lyon and Douglas counties and in Carson City. One hundred Guardsmen were sent to help, mostly in Reno, Al Aicorn of the state Department of Emergency Management, said yesterday.
In Nevada, 400 to 500 people had been evacuated from the Dayton area southeast of Reno where water from the El Doro Dorado Reservoir threatened to isolate residents, according to Don Dehne, assistant director of the Emergency Management Division.
In Utah's Morgan County, Commissioner Ken Adams said water was receding but several hundred homes had water damage and estimated the flooding caused $250,000 in damage to roads.
Flooded town calls in National Guard
The Associated Press
NAPA, Calif. — This waterlogged town in the heart of California's lush wine country called in the National Guard yesterday after a week of fierce storms drove the normally tranquil Napa River over its banks.
"We have 400 to 500 people in shelters, but I understand people who have left on their own could number in the thousands," said sherrif's Capt. Ken Narlow. "We have no way of knowing.
"The National Guard has been called out. We're surrounded by about three feet of water at the sheriff's station."
States of emergency were declared in Napa, Sonoma and Humboldt counties by Gov. George Deukmejian, a preliminary step in making them eligible for federal disaster assistance.
In this community northeast of San Francisco, which is divided by the river, water peaked almost five feet above flood stage and flooded much of the downtown area.
to keep water out. The Sonoma Valley Airport outside town was under water, the few planes it handles huddled on a small, dry section of the field.
Store entrances were sandbagged
Napa Valley wineries reported little trouble, since grape vines were dormant during the winter and aging wine was safe indoors.
"We closed yesterday and we're closed again today," said Chip Bourlil, assistant director of operations at the Domaine Chandon winery in the little town of Yountville. "The winery hasn't had any serious
flooding. I haven't been out in the vineyards, but there has been some erosion. There's a possibility later in the spring there could be some root damage if the soil remains waterlogged."
At Napa High School, one of the town's three evacuation shelters, about 400 people sprawled on mattresses and watched tiny televisions
"The police came around and told us to get out," said Joe Horvath, 34, who lives with his wife and three children.
