At least five individuals have been killed in the United States by harsh winter storms in northern California. Two individuals died Wednesday as a result of injuries experienced during the inclement weather, according to the city of San Francisco. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a homeless man was discovered dead after his tent was struck by a falling tree in Oakland.
One person was killed in the Contra Costa area as a consequence of a fallen tree. According to the local fire service, the tree fell on a moving automobile, killing one of the occupants. A person in their vehicle was also murdered in similar manner in Portola Valley. More than 700 trees are thought to have been felled or damaged in San Francisco alone, according to municipal officials.
California is famous across the globe for its beaches and sunlight, and the state frequently endures exceptionally high temperatures and heat waves. For years, California has experienced recurrent wildfires that are becoming larger and more severe. For weeks, there have been terrible storms.
On Wednesday, a tornado raged through Montebello, a borough near Los Angeles (March 22). House roofs were removed, and automobiles were whirled around. "It was basically anarchy," one city merchant told KTLA. Pictures of the devastation may be seen in video recordings, which depict damaged industrial buildings and a sewage system that has been devastated. There has also been talk of road damage, floods, and landslides. Also, tens of thousands of people were without power at times.
The storms also bring far more rain than typical to the US state. According to the weather service, the state's all-time rain record might be broken. Yet, rain does not just have downsides; following previous heat waves, California's water reservoirs are well full for the first time, and the soil is saturated.
