Heavy storms down trees and flood roads in California

California is being drenched by a giant atmospheric river-fuelled storm that has caused record levels of rain, dangerous flooding and violent winds that knocked out power to hundreds of thousands.

Nearly 38 million people are under flood alerts across the state and into Arizona, including about 10 million people in Los Angeles county. At least two people have died because of the storm, both struck by felled trees that toppled on to or around their homes
