LIVE UPDATES: Atmospheric river brings severe flooding, thunderstorms and landslides to Bay Area

A deputy in Marin County this week saved a woman who had become trapped in her car as it filled with water, the sheriff's office said Thursday.

Dramatic video released by the Marin County Sheriff's Office shows the rescue of a woman early Tuesday.

The sheriff's office said the woman was driving to work down a rural road near Point Reyes around 5 a.m.

"Water was rushing off the hillside on the roadway and ultimately was filling up that creek. And as she was driving, she hit a large puddle in the road and lost control of the vehicle, ending up in that flooded creek," said Sgt. Adam Schermerhorn.

According to the sheriff's office, her vehicle became inoperable and her doors and windows remained locked. She called 911 and a deputy arrived.

After spotting the car in the creek, the sheriff's deputy immediately jumped to action.

He broke the car's back window and began removing items, trying to give the woman stuck inside the submerging car as much room to breathe as possible.

Eventually, the deputy was able to pull the woman out of the vehicle. He then helped her walk through the rushing water to safety.

The sheriff's office says the deputy likely got there just in time to save the woman's life.

Just as the rain makes its bitter cold return to San Francisco on Thursday, the city's public works crews are busy clearing debris from Tuesday's landslide on Telegraph Hill.

On the other side of the city, crews are working to clean up a tree that fell and blocked a sidewalk near Valencia and 21st Street.

"Full disclosure, I'm a New Yorker, born and raised on the East Coast so this is nothing," Nick Martell, a San Francisco resident, said. "I was just chatting with my buddies back in the city and it's like freezing rain and snow over there, so we're going to be fine."

Meanwhile, at the Ferry Building, we caught up with Conor McNamara, who proudly hopped on his bike to head to work in shorts.

"I just am more comfortable in shorts than long pants, doesn't really matter as long as you're moving and you stay warm," McNamara said.

Because of the rain, only a couple of produce vendors showed up to the Ferry Building's Farmers Market, including Ramon Rojas with Rojas Family Farms.

His farm is based out of Tulare near Fresno. But he still makes the three and a half hour drive up to San Francisco four times a week to sell his family's produce, rain or shine.

"You gotta make it worth it, at least try you know," he said. "It's a gamble at the same time because a day like today, today's rainy, tomorrow's going to be sunny so that inconsistency can mess with the fruit and also the customers, the foot traffic."

Officials say that a body was found in the flood water after a storm brought heavy rain and flooding to the Bay Area.

The person who died was possibly riding a bike, according to the Sonoma County Fire Dept.

This is the second storm-related death reported in Sonoma County. The first case was reported Wednesday, when deputies responded to a report of someone found dead in a culvert in the 7700 block of Franz Valley Road east of Windsor.

Boyd says he was at work Tuesday when his wife called him to say the intense storm had caused a mudslide to run straight into their home.

"It was difficult to understand what she was saying. She was obviously panicking. She didn't know if she could get out. Um... it was just scary, very scary."

A raw and emotional moment for Robert Boyd and his wife.

Boyd says he was at work Tuesday when his wife called him to say the intense storm had caused a mudslide to run straight into their home.

ABC7 News caught up with the couple as they were removing some of their belongings Wednesday.

Boyd says almost the entire first floor of their now dilapidated house is filled with mud.

It's not the first natural disaster the couple has survived or that's destroyed their house.

"We were here for the Tubbs Fire in 2017. Lost the house at that point. Took us almost two years to the day to rebuild," Boyd said.

The remnants of Tuesday's atmospheric river were also seen farther east in Guerneville.

Sonoma County Fire District spokesperson Karen Hancock says flooding caused by the storm led to at least five water rescues Wednesday morning.

"We've got all of our swift water rescue teams out here. All of our stations are fully staffed. We've got extra staffing," Hancock said.

Evacuation orders for some low-lying areas along the Russian River were still in effect Wednesday and many roads remain unpassable.

Michael Gomez tells us while he drove his trailer to higher ground before the storm hit, his property is still underwater.

The Guerneville resident saying the water destroyed some items he and his wife had been keeping there in storage.

"I'm 62 years old. I can't do this. We can't even afford it. We get a little but ahead. Finally go, okay we got a little bit of pad and then something like this happens and we're back down below zero again," Gomez said.

More rain is expected to hit the area in the coming days.

And officials are urging people to use this time to get prepared.

"We just don't know exactly what Mother Nature is going to do and how much rain is for sure going to fall in this area. We're asking people to please stay vigilant," Hancock said.
