West Coast Storms Kill at Least 13 People
BEN LOMOND, Calif. — A deadly El Nino storm that
brought five straight days of rain and high winds to the
Pacific Coast eased Tuesday, but more bad weather was on the
way and the danger of mudslides was high.
"We're trying to scramble and
get as much accomplished as possible before the next storm
hits," said Deputy Kim Allyn, a spokesman for the Santa Cruz
County sheriff's department, which was assembling its
emergency response team
At its height, the storm left nearly 2 million
Californians without power
