Flash flooding driven by atmospheric-river moisture struck Northern California, with the National Weather Service reporting 3–6 inches of rain in parts of two counties by Sunday night. In Redding a motorist trapped in a rapidly inundated vehicle died after a police officer swam out, broke the windows, pulled the person to shore and performed CPR, while first responders also rescued nine people from a Cisco Grove home; Mayor Mike Littau praised acts of heroism and warned additional rain Tuesday–Friday could have a bigger impact.
