More than 27 million Californians are currently under flood watches as the state braces for two consecutive storms set to impact various regions. The ongoing recovery efforts from recent record-breaking rainfall and numerous mudslides in the Los Angeles area add to the concerns surrounding the impending severe weather.
The imminent weather systems are causing considerable apprehension among residents, with a significant risk expected to persist for the next 36 to possibly 72 hours. The first storm, currently affecting the Bay Area, is predicted to bring gusty winds and rainfall, albeit in lighter amounts compared to the subsequent storm. The following system is anticipated to deliver a more substantial impact, particularly in southern California, where it is likely to linger longer, exacerbating the existing dangers.
