MENDOCINO Co, CA, 1/13/23 — As California prepares for what will likely be the final atmospheric river storm in a two-week series that pummeled the West Coast, Mendocino County is recovering from the damage wrought by high winds, massive swells, and a lot of water. 

At a special City Council meeting in Point Arena Thursday night, called to ratify the declaration of a local emergency, Sheriff Matt Kendall shared kudos for how Mendocino County residents and volunteers rallied together during the bad weather and power outages.
