"California Braces for Mudslides and Flooding After Storms Cause Damage"

Record rain in California has led to a high risk of mudslides and flash flooding, with over 300 mudslides and dozens of damaged structures reported in Los Angeles. The storm, caused by an "atmospheric river" effect, has left over 130,000 people without power and resulted in at least three deaths. Evacuation orders are in place for several neighborhoods, and coastal flooding warnings extend from San Francisco to San Diego. President Biden has offered federal assistance to Los Angeles, where additional resources, including search-and-rescue crews, have been deployed to address the aftermath of the storm.
