Nearly 40 million Americans have been placed under flood, winter storm, and high wind advisories this week as an intense atmospheric river storm unleashes record-setting precipitation across the U.S. West Coast.
The relentless downpours have triggered widespread flooding, mudslides, and unfortunately, some fatalities. Communities are grappling with the heavy rainfall, which has overwhelmed infrastructure and disrupted daily life.
Authorities are urging residents to stay vigilant, follow safety protocols, and stay updated with the latest weather reports to navigate the ongoing challenges posed by this powerful storm system.
