"A deep, low-pressure storm system moving from the Pacific Northwest to California's Central Coast arrived Monday and, along with it, periods of heavy downpours and turbulent seas that parked a loose sailing vessel on the beach in Santa Cruz overnight and sent a possible localized tornado to an organic farm along the North Coast."
""It was maybe a little bit more condensed in time than we had initially anticipated," said Flynn."
"Sentinel weather observers reported 2.72 inches of rainfall in Ben Lomond Monday through Tuesday, 2.20 inches in Scotts Valley and 2 inches in Soquel. Flynn said the city of Santa Cruz received as much as 1.5 inches Monday through Tuesday morning. The weather service issued a flood advisory at 4:21 p.m. Monday that included the county's North Coast and was followed up by another one at 4:53 p.m. that included the county in its entirety."
A deep, low-pressure storm moved from the Pacific Northwest to California's Central Coast, bringing concentrated periods of heavy rain and turbulent seas to Santa Cruz County. Rain totals included 2.72 inches in Ben Lomond, 2.20 inches in Scotts Valley, 2 inches in Soquel, and up to 1.5 inches in Santa Cruz. Flood advisories covered the North Coast and later the entire county, with extensions as downpours persisted. Strong tides and heavy wave action snapped the anchor of a 22-foot sailboat, washing it ashore at Main Beach with no injuries reported. A possible localized tornado affected an organic farm on the North Coast.
