Two people found dead in apparent drownings in Sonoma County following an atmospheric river storm that caused widespread localized flooding were identified Monday by authorities.

Two people were found dead in what authorities believe was a murder-suicide, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched for a welfare check about 12:19 p.m. Wednesday to the 2000 block of Weeks Ranch Road,

Police say a driver died Saturday morning after they attempted to drive through a flooded road in Guerneville. In Santa Rosa, the body of a man was recovered from a rain-swollen creek.

Sonoma County is still dealing with the impact of last week's historic rainfall, with some local residents raising questions about whether officials did enough to warn people.

Santa Rosa police said it does not appear that the man found in Piner Creek died due to storm-related reasons.

Two people who died in Sonoma County waters last month during the atmospheric river storms were identified by authorities on Monday. William Fowler, 64, of Santa Rosa was found dead in a Santa Rosa creek near Centurion Drive on Nov.

The tragic death of a man found in a vehicle submerged in flood water in Sonoma County over the weekend punches home the fact that it is never safe to drive into flood waters.
