Disastrous Flood
Hits California
FRESNO, Calif. <iP) — Perhaps
the worst flood in central Calif
ornia history has taken two lives
driven thousands from t h e i i
homes and damaged millions o1
dollars worth of property, crops
highways and livestock.
Mountain streams, normally lit
tle more than rivulets, bloatec
into raging torrents over the weefc
end under the impact of days ol
driving rain and melting snow
from the Sierras.
Some communities were inun
dated. Others were threatened ibj
weakening dikes. Roads and brid
ges were washed out.
Countless rescue missions kep‘
casualties to a minimum.
The weather bureau warned
that a new storm would poui
more rain over north central Cal
ifornia today, the eighth day oi
the record-breaking downpours
that dumped as much as 10 inches
of rain in a 24-hour period in the
foothills east of Fresno.
Unseasonal warm weather ir
the Sierras thawed the snowpack
adding millions of gallons of wa
ter to the swollen streams.
An Donner Pass the pack hac
melted from 25 to 7 inches and
was still dwindling.
The Red Cross estimated the
churning, murky waters has forcec
at least 2,000 families from theii
homes in Central California.
Frank Irwin, 87, was founc
drowned in bed in his cottage or
the rampaging Sacramento River
Jimmy Johnson, 75-year-olc
pensioner, died of a heart attacl
as he was being rescued from hi«
home near Kernville.
As flood waters surged over the
already-drenched area from Sac
ramento to Bakersfield, Gov. Ear
Warren ordered all state depart
ment heads to alert their staffs foi
all-out assistance.
