Brace yourselves! 🌬️ Northern California just got hit by a storm of epic proportions, and it's making quite the splash. Heavy rain drenched the region on Friday, causing small landslides, overflowing rivers, and flooding streets—even in the heart of San Francisco! 🌉🚗💦
But that's not all. Up in the Pacific Northwest, tens of thousands of people in the Seattle area are still in the dark after several days without power. Talk about a rough week! 😣💡
The storm first made landfall in the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, where it tragically claimed two lives and left hundreds of thousands without electricity, mainly around Seattle. 🌲⚡ From there, it roared into Northern California, forcing several road closures due to flooding and toppling trees with its fierce winds. 🌪️🚧
Weather experts are waving the red flag 🚩, warning of potential flash floods and rockslides in areas north of San Francisco. The culprit? This season's strongest atmospheric river—a massive plume of moisture stretching over the ocean and pouring down over land like nature's biggest waterfall. 🌊🌫️
If you're in the affected areas, stay safe and keep an eye on weather updates! And maybe keep those umbrellas and rain boots handy. ☔👢
