"Southern California's Storms Subside, Mudslide Threat Lingers"

A punishing storm in Southern California, one of the wettest in history, caused hundreds of mudslides and landslides, leading to evacuation orders and power outages. Although the storm is expected to ease off, the threat of collapsing hillsides remains due to saturated ground. The storm has caused damage to homes and businesses, but has also helped replenish the state's water supply. The storm's impact has extended to Northern California and prompted warnings in neighboring states.
