As California reels under a massive winter storm from Christmas Eve till Friday, Los Angeles and surrounding areas in San Bernardino County faces flood risks, with hundreds already evacuated in high-risk zones.
With heavy rains slamming the state through Christmas eve, travelers are facing major inconveniences with waterlogged roads and delays or cancelation of flights, severely impacting holiday travels. In San Bernardino County, heavy water inlet was reported, which flooded residential areas around the rivers.
National Weather Service has warned people in northern, central and southern California to "exercise extreme caution" on Christmas Eve. A "strong atmospheric river brings heavy rain, snow, and wind to California through Friday," NWS said Tuesday.
