Elsewhere in the drought-stricken state, rain and wind gusts prompted high surf warnings and re- peated cautions from high- way patrol to slow down when driving. Severe weather moved south from the Pacific Northwest, where fierce storms this week sent rivers bursting from their banks, spilled boulders and trees onto a major highway and spawned a rare tornado that snapped power poles and battered homes. But the storms had one positive ef- fect — easing drought con- cerns after an unusually dry summer. In Washington state, the latest report from the U.S. Drought Monitor on Thurs- day showed the area west of the Cascade Mountains is no longer in drought. Cit- ies like Seattle, Everett and Tacoma implemented wa- ter shortage plans when unseasonably dry summer conditions left the region parched. California also needs all the snow and rain it can get, given four years of drought that have dried up reser- voirs and left trees parched. Even a wet winter is not ex- pected to end the drought, but this week's stormy weather brought on by a tropical atmospheric river is the kind Californians used to see before drought set in. "This is the kind of storm we've been missing for the last four years of drought," said Doug Carl- son, a spokesman with the California Department of Water Resources. "This is the kind of storm we would need a lot of to start digging our way out of the drought." Higher snow peaks in the Sierra Nevada didn't hit 3 feet as projected, but there was still a foot or two of snow, enough to keep sled- ders, skiers and snowboards happy, National Weather Service meteorologist Dawn Johnson said Friday. Lake Tahoe-area ski re- sorts, property managers and mom-and-pop retail- ers have been giddy to see snowy conditions this early in the season. "It's full-on winter out here," said Jerry Bindel, general manager of Aston Lakeland Village vacation condominiums in South Lake Tahoe. "This is great news all the way around." TheNationalWeatherSer- vice issued a high-surf advi- sory for many coastal areas, with peak waves around 30 feet in places such as Santa Cruz, California. To the south in Ventura County, surging waves in- undated several low-lying streets along the coast as a very large Pacific swell hit Friday. Rough seas surged over the Ventura Pier dur- ing high tide, and seawater streamed through residen- tial neighborhoods. Mike Laan took a break from his job with the city of Ventura's tourism bureau to join hundreds of residents snapping photos of the huge waves. "They're bigger than I've ever seen," Laan said. "When they're breaking, the waves are higher than the pier. The water is going all the way past the sand to the streets." The pier was damaged by the battering surf and closed indefinitely. No seri- ous damage was reported to homes, and the high tide re- ceded by midmorning. Just north of Ventura two surfers in their 20s were unhurt after being rescued from choppy waters at Mon- dos Beach. A female surfer was pulled ashore by a passer- by, county fire Capt. Mike Lindbery said. Her male companion got stuck be- tween breaking waves and onshore rocks and had to be pulled out by county rescue swimmers. "Mondos usually has a good surf break, on good days," Lindbery said. "To- day is not a good day." Another storm is ex- pected this weekend, which could bring another 2 feet of snow to parts of the Sierra. The Southern Califor- nia coast remains under a high surf advisory through Sunday, with unpredictable waves topping 10 feet. Elsewhere, a brief but in- tense thunderstorm sent pe- destrians scattering Friday in downtown Los Angeles, and hail furiously pelted nearby Highland Park. To the east, snow chains were required on a major route to ski resorts in the San Ber- nardino Mountains.
