California Faces Severe Weather Threats: Flooding, Mudslides, and Power Outages

Nearly the entire state is under flood alerts as Los Angeles could see record rainfall, with evacuation warnings and significant flooding already impacting various regions.

Over 35 million people in California are under flood alerts, with Los Angeles facing a significant flood threat and potentially its wettest February on record.
Evacuation warnings have been issued in parts of Santa Barbara County and southwestern Los Angeles County due to risks of flooding and debris flows.
Significant flooding has led to the closure of the Santa Barbara Airport and several roads across the state, with emergency crews on high alert.
Strong winds, with gusts up to 65 mph, threaten to cause power outages for millions, while heavy snow is expected in the Sierra Nevada.
Residents are urged to stay vigilant for mudslides, especially in areas recently affected by wildfires, as the ground remains saturated from previous storms.
