Fierce storms caused flash flooding, closed key highways, toppled trees and swept away drivers and passengers - reportedly including a five-year-old-boy who remains missing in central California - as authorities braced for more rain and snow
Fierce storms caused flash flooding, closed key highways, toppled trees and swept away drivers and passengers - reportedly including a five-year-old-boy who remains missing in central California - and authorities were bracing for more rain and snow to batter America's most populous state.
The town of Montecito, a favorite of American entertainment royalty such as Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston, was expected to get up to eight inches of rain in 24 hours - threatening dangerous mudslides on hills already sodden by weeks of downpours. The town, whose multi-million dollar properties are perched in breathtaking California countryside, is particularly vulnerable to mudslides because it sits at the foot of a mountain range that was ravaged by fire five years ago.
With the upcoming storms, we want to remind everyone to be safe and follow road closure instructions. #TurnAroundDontDrown pic.twitter.com/DPyAwCFES5
