"California on Alert: Record Rainfall and High Winds Threaten Major Flooding"

Up to 37 million people in California are at risk of life-threatening flooding as an "atmospheric river" brings heavy rain, snow, and strong winds, with potential for downed trees and power lines. Evacuations have been ordered in San Jose, and Santa Barbara County raised evacuation advisories to orders, with officials warning of dangerous flooding through Tuesday. The storm comes as the state is still recovering from heavy storms in late January, and climate change is increasing the potency of these storms.
