TL;DR Summary

A deadly Pacific storm, the second "Pineapple Express" weather system, brought torrential rain to Southern California, triggering flooding, mudslides, and power outages. The storm, which lashed Northern California with hurricane-force winds, dumped over 10 inches of rain in Los Angeles, prompting extreme-weather advisories and rescue efforts. At least two people were killed by wind-toppled trees, and upscale communities in the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, and Topanga Canyon were among the hardest hit by landslides. Evacuation orders were in effect for high-risk areas, and federal aid was pledged to help the affected areas.
