California Hit by Historic Storm, Flooding, Power Outages

California is grappling with the aftermath of a historic storm that brought widespread flooding and power disruptions. Uncommon hurricane-force winds have exacerbated challenges in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California is bracing for potential catastrophic flooding, particularly in wildfire-affected zones. The storm led to shortages of protective measures like sandbags, and nearly 846,000 households were left without electricity, mainly in coastal regions.
