HOLLISTER (KRON) — The destructive storm that rolled through the Bay Area overnight left areas of Hollister severely flooded Wednesday morning.

A flood warning has been issued for Pacheco Creek in Northern San Benito County. This warning will remain in effect until 4:45 p.m. Wednesday.

Tuesday’s storm was the latest in days of back-to-back systems that have brought the heaviest rain in a decade to parts of Northern California.

The storms are part of an “atmospheric river” weather phenomenon that draws precipitation from the Pacific Ocean as far west as Hawaii. Its impact can be catastrophic for areas hit by the heaviest rain.Stay with KRON4 News for updates
