California Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday added Orange County to a lengthy list of regions that have been heavily impacted by the series of powerful winter storms that have slammed the Golden State in recent months. Along with Orange County, Newsom added Alpine and Trinity Counties to the list, which has now grown to include 43 of the 58 counties inside of California. Just last week, Newsom first issued the state of emergency as a number of areas were suffering severe aftereffects of a massive storm that dumped feet of snow and precipitation throughout the state.
