Today’s Headlines: A massive storm lashes Northern California

Eleanore Beatty January 6, 2023 Article

Hello, it’s Thursday, Jan. 5, and here are the stories you shouldn’t miss today:

TOP STORIES

A massive storm brings winds, power outages, evacuations

A powerful winter storm has unleashed heavy rain and strong winds across Northern California, triggering evacuations and power outages, and heightening fears of widespread flooding and debris flows.

Pounding rain and winds battered the Bay Area and surrounding regions Wednesday evening, prompting scattered evacuations along rivers where flooding was expected.

Wednesday’s storm is the third atmospheric river that’s hit California in the last two weeks. The successive storms have brought a deluge of water to the drought-stricken state, prompting Gov. Newsom to declare a state of emergency to “support response and recovery efforts.”

More on California’s storms

  • Officials throughout California are rushing to bring some of the tens of thousands of unhoused residents living on streets and along waterways into shelter.
  • The parade of severe storms slamming into Northern California could lead to one of the strongest seasons since the wild El Niño-fueled winter of 1997–98. And this isn’t even an El Niño year.
  • The atmospheric river storm presents a test for an experimental waste-capturing system that’s intended to keep plastic bottles, diapers and other trash from flowing into the Pacific.

Kevin McCarthy racks up three more defeats

The House adjourned without electing a speaker Wednesday evening after Republican leader Kevin McCarthy failed in his fourth, fifth and sixth attempts to secure the post he has long desired.

McCarthy (R-Bakersfield), who also fell short three times Tuesday, now has more time to negotiate a compromise that can win the support of some of the 20 hardline Republicans who have so far blocked him from the speakership.

Former President Trump’s series of social media posts Wednesday morning calling for members to back McCarthy had little effect on the day’s action, with McCarthy ultimately losing ground after a member who had previously supported him instead voted present.

L.A. day laborers struggle to recover from COVID pandemic

Every day, low-wage workers show up at curbside hiring sites, seeking work on construction projects, roofing installations and landscaping jobs. They are often immigrant men living in the country without documentation, making them susceptible to wage thefts and other unfair labor practices.

The economic downturn caused by the pandemic two years ago hit day laborers especially hard. They were exposed to the deadly virus at high rates, unable to stay home or collect unemployment payments.

Until last year, most didn’t have access to health insurance. Now, high inflation and interest rates have made jobs more scarce, adding another layer of hardship, pushing many toward or into homelessness.

Latino winemakers taste success and wrestle with identity

California is home to an estimated 45 Latino-owned wineries. They make up only a fraction of the state’s 4,500 producers, but their numbers are growing. Naturally, those winemakers hope to capture some of the expanding Latino market, as well as a bigger share of the general market.

But that hope requires them to make complicated decisions about how they market and brand their wine in an Anglo-dominated industry that’s long been associated with Eurocentric refinement.

These decisions take on a greater poignancy in a state where the industry thrives on fruit picked by Latino farmworkers, whose stories historically have been relegated to scraps of oral history.

TikTok’s addictive anti-aesthetic has already conquered culture.

Sonny Bono died in a skiing accident 24 years ago. Bono, 62, veered off a wide-open, well-groomed intermediate run at Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe to navigate through a narrow grove and smashed face-first into a lodgepole pine, authorities said.

A Republican congressman from Palm Springs since 1994, his death came two years after he collided with another skier at Snow Summit in the San Bernardino Mountains, suffering a gash to the chin that required 11 stitches. News of his death triggered an outpouring of accolades and remembrances from the two worlds he frequented with equal ease — entertainment and politics.
