Heavy rain is currently battering California, affecting more than 35 million people and leading to widespread flood threats across the state. The torrential downpours that occurred on Monday triggered landslides and left debris in various communities, with the Santa Barbara area being particularly hard hit.
The intense rainfall has caused roadways to turn into rivers, resulting in travel chaos throughout the region. The weather conditions have been closely monitored, with forecasts predicting an additional one to three inches of rain, especially in Southern California.
