Heavy rains flood Sacramento-area roadways, trigger brief regional flood advisory
Heavy rain pounding the Sacramento area began to swamp local roads and triggered a regional flood advisory Friday afternoon with the California Highway Patrol reporting numerous calls of roadway flooding across the region. The advisory is in place until 5 p.m. The National Weather Service in Sacramento reported urban, roadway, and small stream flooding and forecast in low-lying areas and areas with poor drainage. “Rain will taper off by 5 p.m., but rain impacts may linger through the evening,” National Weather Service forecasters said in a social media post about 2:20 p.m. Forecasters anticipated wet, windy weather into Friday evening with more stormy weather ahead Sunday and into the work week. The National Weather Service announced a winter storm warning for the higher elevations until 10 a.m. Saturday, with up to a foot of snow above 6,000 feet, 18 inches at the highest Sierra peaks, and as much as 2 inches of snow down to 5,000 feet. Flooding was reported in a number of locations in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties in little more than an hour’s time after 1 p.m., during the heaviest of the rainfall, according to CHP traffic logs reviewed by The Sacramento Bee.

German cockroaches and rodent droppings at East Sacramento brunch spot. What else
Sacramento County Health Inspectors found German cockroaches and rodent droppings at one East Sacramento brunch facility. Additionally, nine eateries were cited including a country club after health inspectors found uncovered ice cream in the freezer. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Nov. 5, through Wednesday, Nov. 11. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com .

Massive waves expected in Coos Bay, power rates surge in northern California, and local debates over a baseball park and Flock cameras
A powerful Pacific storm is driving extreme ocean swells toward the Oregon coast, with waves expected to reach 30 to 35 feet. While land winds remained relatively light around Coos Bay, offshore gusts reached 60 mph, creating hazardous beach inundation and severe erosion risks. A high wave warning remains active through Monday morning. The Coast Guard restricted traffic across the Coos Bay Bar and warned that 30-foot seas exceed lifeboat operating limits, leaving helicopter crews from Air Station North Bend as the sole search-and-rescue asset.
