California Braces for More Storms and Evacuations

Thousands of Californians have been evacuated as the state grapples with the aftermath of 11 atmospheric river storms that have caused floods, landslides, and avalanches. The latest storm is expected to bring frigid winds and several inches of precipitation, with high surf and hazardous seas along the coasts. The farming communities have been especially affected, with fields inundated and contaminated, and spring harvests destroyed. Officials have warned communities living near the burn scars of wildfires to stay alert, as these areas are more prone to flooding.
