TL;DR Summary

A drone video has shown the extent of a massive landslide that buried a California highway earlier this month, caused by an abnormally wet winter in the state. California has been hit by several atmospheric rivers, which have almost completely remedied the state's drought but have created new threats from floods and landslides. Another atmospheric river is expected to hit Central and Southern California this week, creating potential flooding risks. The excess water is good news after a years-long drought that has plagued the state, but too much water too fast can overwhelm levees, heightening flood risk.
