- Story Text: A deadly Pacific storm, the second "Pineapple Express" to sweep the West Coast in less than a week, stalled over Southern California on Monday (February 5), unleashing torrential downpours that triggered street flooding and mudslides throughout the region.
Extreme-weather advisories for floods, high wind and winter storm conditions were posted on Monday across parts of California and southwestern Arizona where some 35 million people live.
The National Weather Service documented staggering rainfall amounts from the storm, which lashed Northern California on Sunday (February 4) with hurricane-force gusts of wind, along with heavy precipitation that intensified as the system moved south on Sunday night and Monday.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said more than 10 inches (25.4 cm) of rain had fallen since Sunday across the Los Angeles area, the nation's second-largest city, with much more expected before showers were due to taper off on Tuesday (February 5).
