California Storm Targets Coast to Summit with Floods and Historic Sierra Snow

A dangerous multi-day storm pounds California with heavy rain, flash flood risk, and historic Sierra Nevada snowfall potentially reaching up to 8 feet at higher elevations. Evacuation warnings are in place near burn scars in Los Angeles, while damaging winds threaten trees and power lines. The system triggers flight delays at SFO, widespread travel disruptions, and the potential for landslides, waterspouts, and rare winter tornadoes along the coast; officials urge residents to heed warnings and avoid mountain roads as the storm lingers.
