The storm inundated streets and brought down trees and electrical lines on Sunday across the San Francisco Bay Area, where winds topped 60mph (96kph) in some areas. The storm then moved into Southern California, where officials warned of potentially devastating flooding and ordered evacuations for canyons that burned in recent wildfires that are at high risk for mud and debris flows. Further down the coast, strong winds and heavy rain brought treacherous conditions to the city of Ventura. Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Heavy to moderate rain is expected in Southern California until Tuesday.
