California's Supermoon and Storms: A Double Whammy

California is dealing with a double whammy: a supermoon and a storm. The supermoon, known as the "Beaver Moon, " is the closest to Earth this year. It's causing king tides, which are extra high tides. These tides are making coastal areas risky. There are warnings about dangerous waves and strong currents. Meanwhile, a storm is dumping rain in Northern California. Some areas are getting a lot of rain. Blue Canyon, Quincy, and Sims are expecting 2 to 3 inches. San Francisco and Sacramento are getting up to half an inch. Santa Rosa is getting between half and a full inch. The rain is making roads slippery and causing delays. The supermoon is also affecting the tides. It's making them higher than usual. This is because the moon is closer to Earth. The high tides are causing some flooding. Coyote Creek in Santa Clara Valley is seeing minor flooding. In Northern California, Del Norte and Humboldt counties are getting heavy rain. Governor Gavin Newsom sent emergency crews to help. He advised people to stay off the roads if possible. The storm is affecting different areas in different ways. The North Bay is getting more rain. The South Bay is getting less. The storm is expected to last until Friday morning.
