Santa Maria city leaders offer free sand in light of wet weather
Santa Maria city leaders said they haven't seen any major
problems from the rain.
There were no reports of road
closures or downed trees due to the rainfall.
But just in case, the city is welcoming people to fill up bags with sand
at the public works yard.
As the rain continues, drivers are encouraged to go slower with their headlights on.
You also want to make sure to leave enough
space between you and the car in
front of you.
If it rains
really hard, you might want to stock up on food and water so
you
don't have to make that extra trip when it's dark and the
roads are slick, said spokesperson Mark van de Kamp of the City of
Santa Maria.
City leaders also recommend giving
yourself extra time to get where you're going during this rainy
forecast.
