Residents of Soda Springs, California, are dealing with an estimated 36 feet of snowfall this winter, with more predicted on the way.
A string of back-to-back winter storms have lashed the West this week, delivering blizzard conditions and heavy snowfall to many areas in California.
The days long brutal conditions left many stranded, shut down highways, knocked out power to thousands of homes and buried roads in snow as communities ran low on supplies.
Last week, the National Weather Service in Los Angeles issued its first blizzard warning since 1989. Over the weekend, the weather service's local office in San Diego issued its first-ever blizzard warning for the San Bernardino County mountains
Blizzard warnings remain in effect Wednesday across the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, where up to 2 feet of additional snowfall are possible through Wednesday morning.
The San Bernadino Mountain Range could see between 1 and 3 feet of additional snowfall, with gusts up to 75 mph.
Amid one of the more extreme weather periods in recent California history, a strange phenomenon was photographed in Humboldt County.
A "waterspout," or "water tornado," emerged over the rocks in Shelter Cove on the Lost Coast Monday afternoon. The unusual sight was seen and photographed by resident Micah Crumbaugh while he was on a walk.
"It was really cool watching it make its way down to the water and seeing the water rise up to meet it," Crumbaugh told SFGATE. "Where I was standing it was sunny and warm. It was a really cool sight to see, especially right after snow down here in Shelter Cove."
Like much of California, Humboldt County has seen severe winter storms over recent days. As of Monday, many roads in the region were closed, as downed power lines and trees left nearly 9,000 residents without power, reports the Times Standard.
Why did they force us to close the banks? To instill fear in people. And spreading fear is called terrorism. They are unanimous in their hatred of me, and I welcome their hatred. I shall wear the creditors' loathing with pride.
