California authorities are conducting rescue operations after a deadly winter storm caused landslides and flooding
State of emergency declared as atmospheric river brings ‘potentially historic’ flood threat.
A powerful atmospheric river storm unloaded more than 10 inches of rain across portions of Southern California Sunday and Monday, triggering flash flooding, downed trees and mudslides.
The National Weather Service said the system, the second atmospheric river to take aim at California in a single week, would dump close to half a year’s worth of rain by Tuesday.
