大雨本周末袭击了南加州,官员称至少有一人因风暴死亡。
据洛杉矶县消防局局长布莱恩·基特说,洛杉矶县的疏散警告和命令于周六晚上解除。他说,尽管降雨仍在影响该地区,但最严重的风暴已经过去。
至少有2200万人受到洪水和强风的影响。
周六早上,第一轮暴雨袭击了该地区,第二轮暴雨发生在当地时间上午11点至下午4点。
全州都报道了破坏和洪水的报道。
根据加州公路巡逻队的说法,一名71岁的男子在周五下午被水从萨特县的Pleasant Grove Creek桥上推下他的马自达CX-5后丧生。在最近的大雨之后,桥上有大约两到三英尺的水在路上流动。
野火烧伤疤痕地区是一个严重的问题,因为它们非常容易发生洪水、泥石流和泥石流。但是洪水和泥石流对整个南加州构成了重大威胁,不仅仅是烧伤疤痕区域。
圣巴巴拉、文图拉和洛杉矶县的山区可能会出现一些最大的降雨总量,降雨量将高达4到6英寸。洛杉矶整个11月的平均降雨量为0.8英寸。
大雨将于周六晚上结束,但不稳定的天气模式将持续到下周初,更多的潮湿天气即将到来。随着更多的雨水落在饱和土壤和非常敏感的地区,山洪暴发、泥石流、泥石流和山体滑坡仍将持续几天。
California storm latest: Man killed after water pushes vehicle off bridge
Heavy rain has been pounding Southern California this weekend, and officials say at least one person has died because of the storm.
Evacuation warnings and orders in Los Angeles County were lifted Saturday night, according to LA County Fire Department Capt. Brian Kight. Although rain is still impacting the region, the worst of the storms has moved through, he said.
At least 22 million people were impacted by the floods and strong winds.
The first round of heavy rain slammed the region early Saturday morning, and the second round hit between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. local time.
Reports of damage and flooding were reported throughout the state.
A 71-year-old man was killed Friday afternoon after water pushed his Mazda CX-5 off the Pleasant Grove Creek Bridge in Sutter County, according to the California Highway Patrol. The bridge had about two to three feet of water flowing over the road following the recent heavy rain.
Wildfire burn scar areas were of serious concern because they're extremely prone to flash flooding, mudslides and debris flows. But flooding and mudslides pose a major threat to Southern California in general, beyond just burn scar areas.
The mountains of Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties will likely see some of the biggest rain totals, with as much as 4 to 6 inches of rain. On average, LA records 0.8 inches of rain in the entire month of November.
The heavy rain will end Saturday night, but an unsettled weather pattern will stick around into early next week with more wet weather on the way. Flash flooding, debris flows, mudslides and landslides will remain concerns for several days as more rain falls over saturated soils and very sensitive areas.
