Previous coverage, as of Jan. 2, 2022:

Northern California is dealing with the aftermath of heavy rain and strong winds over the weekend that caused flooding and knocked out power for thousands.

Dozens of people were rescued after their cars got stuck on Highway 99 in Sacramento County when the Cosumnes River flooded the roadway south of Elk Grove.

First responders have been searching for at least one missing person and Cosumnes Fire Department told KCRA 3 that the search has resulted in them finding a dead body in a submerged vehicle near Dillard Road.

As a result of the search, Cosumnes Fire Department says crews found a submerged vehicle in the area of Dillard Road and Highway 99 with a man inside who had died.

Sacramento County's Office of Emergency Services ordered residents of the Point Pleasant, Glanville Tract and Franklin Pond areas to evacuate on Sunday. Sacramento OES spokesperson Janna Haynes said that Cosumnes River flooding could reach those areas by Sunday night and it would be best for residents to leave the area before roadways are potentially blocked off.

In the Sacramento area, more than 6,000 SMUD customers remained without power as of Monday morning.

The Cosumnes River reached its highest level in history and brought flooding to Wilton and parts of south Sacramento County. Residents in Wilton were told to shelter in place if they haven't already evacuated. Late Saturday, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning telling residents along the Cosumnes River at Cosumnes Road and Wilton Road to "seek higher ground immediately" due to the imminent risk of a levee failure.

The county confirmed Sunday that there had been a double levee breach.

County officials have issued a local state of emergency and said they will be collecting damage estimates.

"Sacramento County has been experiencing an atmospheric river that began Dec. 31, 2022, and thus far has resulted in significant transportation impacts, rising creek and river levels and flooding in Wilton," the county said.

Spokesperson Kim Nava said the proclamation will give the county's director of emergency services the authority to fully use all county resources and personnel to assist with the emergency.

They could later seek reimbursement if a state or federal emergency proclamation is issued.

Interstate 80 and Highway 50 are back open in the Sierra after multiple spinouts and flooding. (Look up the latest road information from Caltrans here.)
