California is facing a relentless string of storms that have caused flooding, high surf, and mudslides. On Monday, the latest storm hit the state, swamping roads and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people in towns with a history of deadly mudslides.
The National Weather Service has reported that up to 14 inches of rain has fallen in higher elevations in central and Southern California. This rain is expected to continue through Tuesday.
The storm has caused flooding in many areas, including Watsonville, California. Colleen Kumada-McGowan, a resident of Watsonville, was forced to stand in flood waters in front of her home.
The storm is expected to be followed by another in a few days, adding to the misery and further saturating areas already at risk of flooding and mudslides. It is unclear when the rain will let up in California, but it is likely to continue until at least next week.
