The wrath of nature has been witnessed in Southern California, America. Due to atmospheric disturbances, there were heavy rains and floods in many areas of the state, while several feet of snowfall was seen in the mountains. Due to this game of nature, power cuts have disrupted thousands of homes and businesses.
The city of Hollywood, Los Angeles, was hardest hit by the storm’s wrath on Monday, home to about 1.4 million people and faced flash flood warnings. This also includes Hollywood’s famous Beverly Hills, where film stars live. A state of local emergency was issued for the city of Los Angeles by Mayor Karen Bass on Monday afternoon.
And across Southern California, the strong winds that hit the region Sunday appeared to subside Monday, but the National Weather Service warned that the unstable weather pattern could produce waterspouts or small tornadoes. “Flash flooding is a far greater threat than even the weakest tornadoes produced by any storm and is likely to cause dangerous flooding across much of the region,” the weather service said.
At the same time, USA Today reported in its report on Monday that it is responsible for excessive rain and snowfall in the west. An additional 5 to 8 inches of rainfall is forecast in some areas, bringing the total to 14 inches in 48 hours for some locations, the weather service said. A state of emergency was declared in eight Southern California counties by California Governor Gavin Newsom.
“Life-threatening conditions could develop very quickly in some communities,” warned Alex Sosnowski, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather. The Los Angeles Fire Department said debris flows caused significant damage to about five homes in Beverly Hills on Monday. Although no one was trapped, about 10 people were displaced, the LAFD said.
More than four inches of rain fell in Los Angeles on Sunday, breaking the record for that day by more than an inch. This was the highest rainfall in a day in more than 20 years and was also more than the average for the month of February. Authorities have blamed the storm for three deaths. One person died in Yuba City, 40 miles north of Sacramento, police said. Two other people died Sunday after falling trees in Carmichael, a suburb of Sacramento, and Boulder Creek in Santa Cruz County.
