California: at least three dead due to violent storm. The phenomenon is powered by a current which originates in the region of the Hawaiian archipelago, in the Pacific.
It pours onto soils already saturated by a first storm last week, which increases the risk of flooding, because the earth no longer absorbs anything. For Los Angeles, “yesterday was the tenth rainiest day since we began recording precipitation levels in 1877,” said Mayor Karen Bass. Dozens of flights departing and arriving at Los Angeles airport were canceled or delayed.
