California is reeling from the aftermath of the latest harsh wintry weather. Drone video from California captured cars, houses, farmland, basically everything underwater.

Southern and central California, as well as towns along the Pacific Coast south of San Francisco, were the hardest hit by the onslaught of the cold weather storm.

High-wind warnings and advisories are in place for a vast stretch of California. The warning ranges from the Mexico border through Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay area. 

Winter storm warnings were in effect for high mountains, where several feet of snowfall has been forecast.

The storm is 12th atmospheric river to hit the US West Coast since December.

Up to three inches of rain has been forecast in coastal regions and valleys of Southern California. As much as six inches of rain is likely to fall in lower mountains and foothills, the NWS said.

Howling winds will hit much of the state, with gusts up to 121 kilometres per hour in Southern California's mountains and deserts.
