California storm: State of emergency declared as atmospheric river brings 'potentially historic' flood threat

Millions of people were facing “life-threatening” flash floods in California on Monday as a second atmospheric river — or “Pineapple Express” — barreled through the state.

The National Weather Service has warned about flooding and mudslides as Los Angeles was forecast to see close to half a year’s worth of rain by Tuesday.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in eight counties, including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura.
