flag Southern California's wettest Christmas in 54 years triggered deadly floods, mudslides, and widespread evacuations.

flag Southern California had the wettest Christmas season in 54 years, thanks to powerful winter storms fueled by atmospheric rivers, which caused widespread flooding, mudslides, and debris flows. flag Torrential rains saturated hillside soils, particularly in areas burned by recent wildfires, resulting in dangerous debris flows that buried homes, destroyed bridges, and clogged roads. flag Over 100 people were rescued in Los Angeles County, including 21 helicopter lifts from stranded vehicles, while at least one death was reported in San Diego and another in Sacramento as a result of weather-related incidents. flag Despite the reduced rainfall, the National Weather Service warned of ongoing flash flood and mudslide risks, with flood watches in effect throughout Northern California. flag Strong winds delayed nearly half of flights at San Francisco International Airport, while a separate storm dumped heavy snow and freezing rain on the Northeast, including a major snowstorm in New York City.
