CBS News Logo Latest storm gone but Northern California flooding fears grow as dams overflow
MODESTO, Calif. -- Communities downstream from a Northern California reservoir gushing water for the first time in 20 years braced for flash floods and evacuations after authorities warned them to prepare for rising rivers and creeks. Northern California was forecast to get a brief break from persistent downpours Wednesday but the surge of water released from Don Pedro Dam into the Tuolumne River in the foothills east of Modesto was expected to reach overtopped levees later in the day. Katie Whitley, who manages the Driftwood Mobile Home Park in Modesto, said residents nearest the river have been moving their trailers out since the start of the weekend. “We’re just holding our own,” Whitley told the Los Angeles Times. “That’s what we have to do. You just have to hope for the best. But you can expect it when you live on the river.” The water released from Don Pedro is expected to reach its peak along a stretch near Vernalis that’s already at … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Latest storm gone but Northern California flooding fears grow as dams overflow

Bonnie Raitt interview: Catching up with the Northern California music legend
By Jim Harrington | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: March 13, 2018 at 11:00 am | UPDATED: March 13, 2018 at 3:48 pm More than 40 years after scoring her first hit with 1977’s “Runaway,” Bay Area music legend Bonnie Raitt is still making some of the most intriguing and engaging music of her career. That’s pretty clear from listening to the recent offering “Dig in Deep,” which finds Raitt taking the album’s title to heart — and digging in very deep — on a dozen solid tunes that range from blues rockers to big ballads. Overall, it’s another great edition to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s catalog, which also includes such multiplatinum albums as 1989’s “Nick of Time” and 1991’s “Luck of the Draw.” Raitt is supporting the new platter with a quick run through California, which kicks off March 15 at the City National Civic in San Jose.
