Eureka Power Outages Caused by Weather

Episodes

February 9, 2017

A series of storm systems brought more heavy rain to Northwest California from February 6th through the 11th. With the ground already saturated from a very wet December and January, rivers rose sharply and reached stages not seen since 2005 in a few locations. Area roads were once again impacted with several more slip outs and landslides occurring. Additionally, each storm system brought bouts of strong winds which resulted in power outages and tree damage.

January 17, 2017

Another series of strong storms brought more flooding rains and strong coastal and ridge tops winds to the region. More rock and land slides occurred on primary and secondary highways and trees once again fell during periods of strong winds closing roads and causing power outages.

January 9, 2017

Another cold system brought another round of high elevation snow to the region, particularly in Trinity County. This storm system was then followed by a series of wet systems with heavy rain resulting in small stream, urban, and river flooding. The contrasting temperatures from the previous cold systems and saturated ground caused numerous rock and land slides across the region. Also, in addition to the heavy rain, strong coastal and ridge winds resulted in closed roads and power outages.

December 14, 2002

A powerful Pacific storm swept across Northwest California with strong winds and heavy rain.
