A deadly Pacific storm triggered
A deadly Pacific storm triggered street flooding and mudslides and prompted rescues in Southern California on February 5.
The National Weather Service documented staggering rainfall amounts from the storm, which lashed Northern California on February 4 with hurricane-force gusts of wind, along with heavy precipitation that intensified as the system moved south on Sunday night and Monday.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said more than 10 inches (25 cm) of rain had fallen since Sunday across the Los Angeles area, the nation's second-largest city, with much more expected before the downpour was due to taper off later in the week.
The Los Angeles Police Department reported scores of traffic collisions with injuries since the storm began, many more than usual, while city Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said her crews had responded to at least 130 flooding incidents.
Los Angeles officials reported 120 mudslides and debris flows throughout the city and at least 25 structures damaged by heavy rainfall or mudslides as of Monday evening, Crowley said.
Flooding nevertheless posed a considerable hazard. Rescue teams pulled dozens of people to safety statewide, mostly motorists trapped in their cars by rising waters when they tried to drive through flooded roadways, Brian Ferguson, spokesperson for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES), said.
