TL;DR Summary

California is bracing for more rain and flood risks after a brief break from downpours, with storm conditions expected to continue until Thursday or Friday. The storm, caused by a massive atmospheric river, has led to one of the wettest two-day periods in southern California's record, resulting in fatal flooding, landslides, and evacuations. The wealthy county of Santa Barbara experienced a cliffside collapse, while over 400 landslides have caused significant damage in Los Angeles. Additionally, a proposal for a new Category 6 for hurricanes with winds exceeding 192 mph has been suggested due to the increasing intensity of tropical storms caused by climate change.
