💰 California storms’ death toll rises to 14, and more rain is coming

TL;DR

Your #LAFD rescued two trapped victims from a sinkhole tonight in #chatsworth For the full story: https://t.co/BfW24qCTrU https://t.co/0a7TeD3r1k — #LAFD Talk (@LAFDtalk) January 10, 2023 The two-phase storm system has brought multiple waves of heavy rain and hundreds of reports of flooding across the Golden State since Sunday night.The extreme precipitation is filling reservoirs and piling up snowpack, but because the ground is well saturated, much of the fallen rain will end up in the Pacific Ocean.In the hills above the University of California Santa Cruz, downed power lines closed roads and convoys of PG&E trucks, the state’s main electricity provider, combed through the area removing fallen logs and trying to restore power.Tuesday began with a bang for much of the Golden State as strong to severe thunderstorms — with a pair of nocturnal tornado warnings — jolted residents awake in the middle of the night.pic.twitter.com/eaPbqLyflm Based on historical records, these were the first overnight tornado warnings ever issued by the National Weather Service in Sacramento; with records dating back to 1986, it appears the latest that any other tornado warning had been in effect was until 9:15 p.m."
