Flash floods drench parts of northern California

A powerful storm brought about flash floods and drenched parts of northern California already scarred from devastating wildfires. The storm triggered mudslides and brought down electric lines. The storm is being described as a 'bomb cyclone' - which is an intense weather event when pressure drops quickly. The weather whip-lash follows the busiest wildfire season in California's history, and also heightens threats of further flash flooding.
