Storms that began in late January have led to the deaths of 12 people, according to a Feb. 7 press release by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“Just in the last few weeks, California has lost 12 lives to successive storms. Our thoughts are with their families and friends, as well as with communities across the state as they begin efforts to clean up damage and recover,” Mr. Newsom said.
