California Faces Severe Weather with Flooding and High Winds on Christmas Day
California is experiencing severe weather conditions over the Christmas holiday, following a deadly storm on Christmas Eve that resulted in rescues and evacuations. As of Christmas Day, a new storm is bringing heavy rainfall, high winds, and the risk of mudslides, particularly in Southern California, where about 8 million people are under a moderate risk of flooding. The National Weather Service warns that saturated ground could lead to immediate runoff, exacerbating the flooding situation. Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in multiple counties, including Los Angeles and San Bernardino, to mobilize resources for affected areas. Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid travel due to hazardous conditions.
