Maiboxes surrounded by flood water are seen near Petaluma River during a winter storm in California
Forecasters expect another half foot of rain to soak central and northern California and the Sierra Nevada mountains through early Tuesday, coming on the heels of powerful storms that walloped the state and other parts of the US west on Sunday.
The drenching rains and blowing snow flooded rivers and shut down roads from mudslides in a state that has struggled with drought for years.
