Hundreds fled their homes as SS
record rainfalls sent creeks over their banks. Check dams were washed out, railroad awash and highways flooded. The same storm took the form of snow in northern California
and Nevada, locking up the Sierra §
Mountains in a snowbound grip where even snow vehicles had to give up the fight in many spots. Schools were closed, -thousands were marooned, including 1400 Marines in winter training at Picket Meadows, Cal, and all transportation halted.
200 Flee Homes
