Major storm brings record rain and tree damage to Northern California

A major storm has hit Northern California, causing heavy rain and snow, and toppling trees. This follows a similar storm that resulted in two deaths and widespread power outages in the Pacific Northwest. Flash flooding and rockslides are ongoing concerns. In California, record rainfall was reported, with Sonoma County receiving nearly 7 inches in one day. The National Weather Service has extended flood watches, warning of dangerous conditions, especially in areas affected by recent wildfires. Flight cancellations and delays continue at San Francisco International Airport, with about 9,000 power outages reported in California. Meanwhile, the East Coast is experiencing beneficial rain, easing wildfire risks in New York and New Jersey.
