NBC Bay Area reported the storm turned deadly after a tree fell on a home in Sonoma County and killed a child inside.
The city distributed so many sandbags to residents that supplies temporarily ran out.
The storm is the latest of three atmospheric river storms in the last week to reach the drought-stricken state. California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency to allow for a quick response and to aid in cleanup from another powerful storm that hit just days earlier. Elsewhere, a 45-mile stretch of the coastal Highway 1 running through Big Sur was closed Wednesday evening in anticipation of flooding and rock falls. Farther north, a 25-mile stretch of Highway 101 was closed due to several downed trees.
Sonoma County authorities issued an evacuation warning for a string of towns along the Russian River.
