STOCKTON, Calif. — In San Joaquin County, people are bracing for the worst, even as many are still trying to recover from the New Year's Eve storm.
Wednesday around noon, Caroline Coronado's Stockton home was without power. It had been that way since New Year's Eve.
"Very cold, but luckily the hot water still works and the gas still works," she said.
As PG&E crews continue trying to restore power just yards from her Country Club neighborhood home, she remains concerned about the current storm as well.
"If the weather starts getting really bad who knows if they are even going to get done," said Coronado.
Meanwhile across the city, massive trees are still down from the last storm, some damaging cars and others simply lying on the ground.
It's left some tree service companies working non-stop since the past weekend's devastating storms. Alex Garcia has worked six years clearing trees, operating a front loader.
"Very hectic, very exhausting," said Garcia. "Obviously, you can tell very tiring, but trying to get it done, trying to clean up these streets. Make it a little bit safer," he said.
But there might be little relief in sight as another storm has the potential to bring along more gusty winds and flooded streets again.
Jeff Krieiger, who operates a family-run gardening business, has some simple advice to reduce the threat of flooding.
"It's as easy as taking a rake to the sewer and just clearing out the leaves," said Krieger. "Get them out of the way. I mean, it will save you a lot more trouble down the road."
