Nadine El-Bawab, ABC NewsSAN BERNARDINIO COUNTY, Calif. — Twelve people have died after powerful storms hit Southern California's San Bernardino County and cut off mountain communities. However, only one of those deaths, which was caused by a traffic accident, is so far being considered weather-related, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
A series of snowstorms brought unprecedented snow to California late February into early March. San Bernardino County declared a local emergency on Feb. 27"after residents of mountain communities found themselves trapped at home or unable to reach home due to several feet of snow that fell over the weekend," officials said at the time.
Crews have removed more than 7.2 million cubic yards of snow from highways in San Bernardino County, which equals nearly 2,270 Olympic-size swimming pools, according to the governor’s office. "You can't even shovel the stuff. It's just rock hard ice. Shovels just easily break," Foster said in a telephone interview from her home in Lake Arrowhead.
