Massive floods, power outages, and the death of 3 people as a result of a violent storm that affected the state of California

Arabia Weather - Three people lost their lives in the US state of California, which witnessed a wave of strong storms, as meteorologists expected heavy rains and strong winds across most areas of the state. These adverse weather conditions resulted in floods and mudslides, along with power outages.

And in the details: In California, at least three people were killed as a result of a severe storm that led to massive floods and power outages in about half a million homes, as authorities announced on Monday. The southern regions of the state, known as the “Golden State,” witnessed non-stop heavy rain for more than 24 hours.

On the other hand, the northern regions of the state were exposed to strong winds, causing trees to fall and killing at least three people, according to local authorities. California Governor Gavin Newsom warned of the danger of the huge storm, declaring a state of emergency in eight of the state's 58 counties.

Among the areas hardest hit by the storm include Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Santa Barbara, all of which are located in the south of the state.

The city of Los Angeles witnessed floods that led to dangerous roads and landslides, and this situation led to the issuance of orders to evacuate the hills in Hollywood and Santa Monica, which are areas overlooking the city.

In this upscale area, mud floods submerged entire cars and pulled a house off its foundations, according to scenes broadcast by the local KTLA television channel.
