Over the weekend, a powerful storm fueled by an atmospheric river wreaked havoc across California, resulting in three tragic deaths caused by fallen trees. The storm brought heavy rain, strong winds, and caused mudslides throughout the state, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
One of the victims, Robert Brainard III, 45, lost his life when a tree fell on his home in Boulder Creek. Fortunately, another person who was present at the time managed to escape. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office provided this information in a statement.
