Good morning, Santa Rosa.

Santa Rosa will raise its minimum wage to $18.21 an hour beginning January 1, reflecting a +2% increase from the current rate of $17.87.

Nearby cities are set to update their wages similarly as local adjustments continue.

Tuesday night's storm in Sonoma County caused power outages, downed trees, and forced a child to the hospital after a redwood fell across a home and power lines; cleanup began at a lodge, and officials warned that pre-saturated ground + heavy winds increased risks of further hazards.

A windstorm swept through Sonoma County overnight, knocking out power for over 7,000 customers and closing roads on Highway 1 and near Sebastopol; forecasters warn a second gust will hit later tonight amid dangerous 20-foot waves (coastal areas advised to steer clear).

Sonoma County deputies are seeking the owner of a prosthetic leg found Tuesday on the Joe Rodota Trail west of Dutton Avenue (they ask anyone claiming it to verify the serial number to ensure it is reunited for Christmas).
