TL;DR Summary

Historic levels of rainfall from an atmospheric river storm have caused flooding, mudslides, and power outages in California, with at least three people dead. Half a year's worth of rain fell in Los Angeles and surrounding areas in just two days, leading to flash flood advisories and states of emergency affecting around 20 million people. The storm, the second powered by an atmospheric river in two weeks, has left 500,000 without power and prompted the closure of Disneyland parks in Anaheim. The threat of flooding remains high as the storm continues, with up to three feet of snow reported at ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe area.
