More than 700 000 people lost power as heavy rainfall and strong winds hit California, U.S.
Southern California faces a barrage of extreme weather as record-breaking rainfall, powerful wind gusts, and widespread power outages impact the region. Air travel has also been disrupted, and a man lost his life in Portola Valley when a tree fell on his sewer truck. While the torrential downpour provides relief from the long-term drought, it brings additional challenges, including flooding, flight cancellations, and complications for communities in the mountains still recovering from recent snowstorms.
