California has been experiencing severe weather conditions this week, with heavy rainfall leading to rising floodwaters and roads disappearing under the deluge. An atmospheric river is responsible for the latest round of rainfall that has put nearly the entire population of California under flood alerts. The state has been dealing with mudslides, flooding, debris flows, damaging winds, and heavy mountain snow. A flood watch remains in effect across California as the powerful storm continues to unleash rain, snow, and wind on much of the West Coast. Officials are warning residents to stay on high alert for floods. Despite the threat of flooding due to winter storms, California has so far escaped the severity of damage from mudslides, wind, and rain seen in previous weeks. The state is facing a relentless barrage of atmospheric rivers that keep soaking the region, causing flooding rains and inundating streets and neighborhoods. The latest storm has also brought fresh flooding, mudslides, sinkholes, and coastal erosion, though three mansions atop the cliffs of Dana Point remain anchored in place.
