A storm Tuesday night brought strong winds and rain to the Central Coast, causing outages that left about 781 customers without power in Santa Cruz and 687 on the Monterey Peninsula.

PG&E said crews will begin repairs once conditions improve.

California’s heavy rain is caused by a long-lasting atmospheric river rather than cloud seeding, as some social media posts mistakenly suggest.

The rain has led to flooding and road closures, and forecasters say more impacts will come through early January.
