Northern ami Central California were slowly recovering today from the worst storm of the season. A southwest wind as strong, if not troixger, than those of the other recent storms, accompanied yester day's downpour. Swollen creeks nnd rivers threat ened serious dnmnce today nt a number of valley towns. Reports from San Jose declared that hun dreds of acres were flooded in the Santa Clara vallev and that scores of ranchers living along the banks of the Coyote and Guadalupe had been forced to abandon their homes. Storm Is General The rain was general all over the state. Tho Southern Pnoifio const line was practically out of commis sion and nil through trains were be ing detoured todny via the vnlley line. These were run subject to heavy delays, us flooding creeks and landslides have worked havoc with roadbeds between Wntsonville junction nnd Snu Luis Obiso. The Fresno division of tho Southern Pa cific nlso was tied un as n result of washouts, but it was expected this condition would be remedied before noon. An unusually heavy fall of snow was reported in the mountains. It melted almost as rapidlv ns it fell, and as n result river conditions hrotiphout the northern nnd central districts were criticnl. Situation Is Acuto Conditions were reported especi ally acnte in tho San Joaquin nnd Sacramento valleys. At Oilroy, Uvas creek overflowed its banks and mer chants were called out of their beds to provent the wnter from entering their stores. At Coyote stntion the situation wns equally as bad. Coy oeo creek left its banks nt nightfall and nt nn early hour today was flowing five feet deep across the re cently constructed state highway. Tho wind played havoc along the south shore of Alameda. It uproot ed trees, blew down fences and sev eral sea walls and bulkheads col lapsed before the high waves. Snap ping trees dropped directly across several car tracks nnd delayed traf fic for a time. Cyclone at Orovllle At Orovillo the storm assumed tho proportions of a cyclone. It swept the country around for n radius of thirty miles. Eight bams and two dwellings wero demolished, nnd tho Northern Electric depot was practi cally wrecked. Two horses and twenty head of cattle caught in col lapsing barns were killed. Two inches of rain fell nt Marys ville, but the damage there was slight. Stockton reported one of tho heaviest ruins of the .season. The Culnvcrns river was reported rising, but nt an early hour today it was six inches lower than on Friday. A wido territory north of the river, however, nnd quite n bit of land to tho enst wns under water. At Hnuford the storm amounted almost to a cloudburst. More than 1,811 inches of rain fell in six hours. Towns Aro Flooded The Pajaro river rose rapidly. Early today, it had overflowed ll banks nnd several towns were re ported flooded. From three to font feet of wnter was standing in w streets at Wntsonville nnd tunny people- living in low-lying tlUtVU'U wero forced to leave their homes. At high tide yesterdav the witters of the ocean backed into the river and caused i BOriouM use. ebb tide tliu wnter receded, hut tliu overflow still covers. lai$o purl of the city and countryside. The wind played hitvoe with lelo graph and telephone wires every where. Except for Los Angeles and other southern California points, San Francisco was cut off totlm from outside couununiimtion. Wites to, the north nnd east were down. Neither the Western Union nor the Postal Telegraph company hud an wires wolKing to the coast, hut this condition was expected to he reme died before noon.
