"Pineapple Express Storms Bring Drenching Rain to California, More on the Way"

A powerful storm known as an atmospheric river has drenched California, causing familiar damage such as fallen trees and flooded roads. While not expected to cause the same level of chaos as last winter, officials are urging residents to stay alert as another larger storm is forecasted for the weekend. Vulnerable communities in Santa Barbara County are especially at risk, and significant rainfall is expected to impact almost the entire state.
