19 Killed, Several Remain Without Power As Storm Hits Flooded California

California

As the storm in California continues to wreak havoc in California, it has already claimed 19 lives and as many as 400,000 had been without power at some point during the downpour, sources reported.
Heavy rains in California have caused more than a dozen deaths and widespread destruction, however, the wet weather is expected to persist for more days according to meteorologists.

California has had tremendous rain and snow over the last few weeks, causing power disruptions and forcing people to evacuate or shelter in place, according to sources.

Thousands of California residents have been told to leave their homes as heavy rains caused flooding in various parts of the state, sources reported. Relentless storms over the last 11 days have left no part of the state untouched, flooding towns from north to south and loading inland mountains with snow.
Recently, it was reported that a warming climate will increase the number of tropical cyclones and their intensity in the North Atlantic, potentially creating more and stronger hurricanes, according to simulations using a high-resolution, global climate model.
 Unfortunately, it's not great news for people living in coastal regions,  said Christina Patricola, an Iowa State University assistant professor of geological and atmospheric sciences, an affiliate of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California and a study leader.  Atlantic hurricane seasons will become even more active in the future, and hurricanes will be even more intense.  The research team ran climate simulations and found that tropical cyclone frequency could increase 66 percent.
