The first large storm of the rainy season left thousands without power, downed trees and caused road closures and some car accidents across the Central Coast over the weekend.

More than 6,600 people were still without power in Monterey County as of Monday afternoon, after the storm caused major outages across several cities.

Unincorporated Monterey accounts for about half of the outages, while Seaside, Marina and Monterey make up a majority of the rest. Outages have also been reported in Carmel, Pacific Grove and Salinas.

In Seaside, numerous trees fell over and other property was damaged. The major outage affected thousands of residents, who went without power most of Saturday and traffic signals were out for about half the city.

Monterey city officials reported that multiple power lines and trees were down near Casanova Oak Knoll and Deer Flats. One tree was knocked down on the North Fremont bike median and the entrance to Jacks Peak was closed due to high winds and trees blocking the roads.

There was a flood watch for the Carmel Lagoon area, that ended Sunday at 4 a.m.All lanes of the US-101 southbound in Salinas are open, but California Highway Patrol Monterey is reminding the public that crews are still out on the streets and rainy weather is expected to continue Monday and early next week.

“Highway and utility crews across the county are busy clearing debris left from this weekend’s storms,” CHP Monterey wrote on social media. “While many roads are now clear these workers are still out there working nonstop to keep the roads open and safe. Please slow down and move over when passing.”
