BOULDER CREEK, Calif.—Near the spot where a washed-out private road in the Santa Cruz mountains cut off access to her street, Rebekah Uccellini-Kuby gestured toward a painted wooden sign stuck in the earth. It had been over a month since a stream of storms inundated California, but Harmon Gulch Road, which leads to about a dozen homes, remained unpassable, split in half, with big pieces of pavement lying in a yawning crack in the earth. 'We're calling this our silver lining crossing, to try and remind people to look at the silver lining in all of this,' Uccellini-Kuby said.
