"Severe Rain Triggers Floods and Rescues Across California and Texas"

Heavy rainfall in Southern California caused flooding, mudslides, and evacuation warnings, with the San Diego metro area receiving 2 to 4 inches of rain in just three hours, leading to flash flooding and road closures. Evacuation warnings were issued in areas with wildfire burn scars, and landslides shut down roads in Butte and Plumas counties. The rain, part of a series of storms crossing California, is also bringing much-needed snow to higher elevations to build up the state's snowpack.
