Mother Nature went full force this week as heavy rain and snowstorms drenched Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. 🌧️❄️
In Northern California, intense downpours on Friday led to small landslides, overflowing rivers, and flooded streets across regions including parts of San Francisco. Strong winds also caused road closures and toppled trees. 🌲💨
Meanwhile, in Seattle, tens of thousands remain without power after days of darkness, following the storm that swept through the area earlier in the week. Sadly, the storm claimed two lives and left hundreds of thousands without electricity. ⚡😭
Weather experts are sounding the alarm on the risk of flash flooding and rockslides north of San Francisco, attributed to this season's strongest atmospheric river – a massive moisture plume that brings intense precipitation from the ocean to the land. Stay safe and stay informed! 🌍🔍
