Powerful atmospheric river, known as a 'Pineapple Express,' surges into an already-sodden California, sparking warnings of widespread flash flooding there
Dozens of evacuation orders are in place as a powerful atmospheric river, known as a "Pineapple Express," surged into an already-sodden California, sparking warnings of widespread flash flooding in the western US state.
"Rainfall totals of 4-9 inches, atop areas with saturated soil and deep snowpack will cause widespread and severe flooding impacts," the National Weather Service [NWS] warned. The move came after a request from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who said he was mobilising resources to help anyone in need.
