Landslides and flooding in California amid record levels of rainfall
A storm arrived on America’s west coast on Tuesday as a ‘bomb cyclone’.
California has been hit by record levels of rainfall, which has caused small landslides and flooding in the US state.
The storm on the west coast of America arrived earlier this week, killing two people and cutting of power to hundreds of thousands, mostly in the Seattle area, before its strong winds moved through northern California.
Santa Rosa, California, saw its wettest three-day period on record with about 12.5 inches of rain falling by Friday evening, according to the National Weather Service in the Bay Area.
Flooding closed part of the Pacific Coast Highway in Mendocino County and there was no estimate for when it would reopen, according to the California Department of Transportation.
