Rain covered large parts of the state. A state of emergency was declared in 10 counties in the state, including Los Angeles itself.

In southern California, mudslides from flooding and strong winds knocked out power to nearly a million homes. The BBC reported it.

It is noted that the rain covers a significant part of the state. A state of emergency was declared in 10 counties in the state, including Los Angeles itself. Orange County officials have issued a voluntary evacuation warning for some areas that could become an order.

Earlier, the Weather Prediction Service (WPC), part of the National Weather Service (NWS), issued a Level 4 rain warning for southern California. There is also a risk of landslides and mudslides. The Center added that heavy snowfall is expected in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which will make travel dangerous. Wind gusts will reach 70 mph, according to the NWS.

On February 4, flights from Santa Barbara Airport were canceled, and drivers stranded by flooding in Los Angeles had to be freed by rescuers.

As Reuters reported, severe weather knocked out power grids, leaving more than 900,000 homes and businesses without power on Sunday. On the morning of January 5, this number dropped to 600 thousand.

NWS officials urged people in affected areas to follow evacuation orders, stay off roads and prepare for possible power outages.

Forecasters are predicting “nearly continuous rain” in the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara areas.

Remember that Rio de Janeiro was flooded by rain – at least 11 victims. It was also reported that in China, as a result of a massive landslide, 47 people were trapped under rubble.
