#Mudslides, 126-mph winds and feet of snow pummel #California amid #AtmosphericRiver
The biggest storm so far this winter blasted California with #flooding #downpours, #hurricane-force winds and feet of #snow in the mountains. Some of the worst damage occurred near the #BurnScars from January's deadly #fires.
By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior content editor
Published Feb 14, 2025
"Mudslides, flooding downpours and feet of mountain snow were unleashed across California as the biggest storm so far this winter hit the state, including areas devastated by deadly #wildfires in January.
"Evacuations were ordered and roads were shut down near the burn scars of the #PalisadesFire and the #EatonFire due to the risk of mudslides, flash flooding and debris flows, including a stretch of the #PacificCoastHighway between #Malibu and #SantaMonica.
"A person with the Los Angeles Fire Department was swept away in a vehicle amid the flooding but managed to escape with only minor injuries, according to The Associated Press.
"Bulldozers were needed to clear feet of mud, rock and debris from some roads as the heavy rain ran off the charred mountainsides.
"'Over 10 inches of rain fell in some areas, including 10.87 at Manchester, on the coast west of #Sacramento, and 9.89 inches at Mining Ridge, 90 miles south of #SanJose,' AccuWeather Meteorologist and Digital Producer Jesse Ferrell said.
"Rain even fell in California's #DeathValley National Park, with 0.18 of an inch falling in the hottest place in North America. In an entire year, the remote park typically measures 2.20 inches of rain."

“The Quiet Pacific” — The Pacific Ocean on a quiet, overcast morning on the Big Sur Coast.
There is not a lot happening in this photograph. In fact, the scene was as close to static as ocean scenes can be. It can be quite dramatic and dynamic here, especially if the sun is out, a big swell is generating high surf, the wind is blowing, and wildlife is present. But on this unexpectedly foggy morning it was quite still and most of the tourists were still sipping coffee back in town…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/10/29/the-quiet-pacific/

“Big Sur Headlands, Fog” — Morning fog on and early fall morning along the Big Sur coast.
You never can be quite certain of the conditions you’ll encounter along California’s Big Sur Coast. Ocean and continent boundaries are transitional zones, and conditions depend on which one dominates. On this visit I expected to arrive to clearing fog and broken sunlight on the coast. But, alas, it remained cloudy the entire time I was there. Fortunately, there are advantages to such conditions, too. The press of tourist traffic diminishes, and the coast can take on a quiet and moody quality…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/10/19/big-sur-headlands-fog/

“Point Sur Lighthouse Station” — The historic Point Sur Lighthouse Station with Pacific Ocean fog in the background.
There are several striking hills, rocks, mounds like this along California’s coast, almost isolated from land yet tenuously connected by a low peninsula. I think of them as reminders of where the coast was long ago and of the continuous eroding away of the land. This one is Point Sur, between the Carmel area and the town of Big Sur. It houses the historic Point Sur Lighthouse Station — no longer active, but today a state park…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/09/09/point-sur-lighthouse-station-2/

“Big Sur Haze” — Summer haze along rugged Big Sur coastline, California.
I drove down the Big Sur Coast on this mid-August morning, traveling as far as the point where the road is currently closed for landslide repair. A bit north of that I pulled out at a popular overlook where I have photographed before — there is a great view down the coast and past a series of big ridges descending to the water. I almost didn’t photograph, but as I looked at the scene I became interested in smaller sections of the larger view…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/08/30/big-sur-haze/

“Water’s Edge” — Blue-green water and surf meet the edge of the continent, Big Sur Coast.
I called this “Water’s Edge,” but I could also have called it “Continent’s Edge.” Beyond and above this little vignette of sand and rocks and water and foam lies the entire Pacific Ocean, and behind it lies the North American continent. The location is some likely-nameless spot along the Pacific Coast Highway as it passes through the Big Sur region of Central California…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/08/28/waters-edge/

“Curving Coastline,Fog” — Successive ridges drop to the Pacific Ocean in fog along the rugged Big Sur Coast.
The Big Sur Coast seems to stretch on forever, with rugged mountains dropping precipitously into the Pacific Ocean. Ridges are separated by small valleys, and a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway often follows a pattern of turning inland to cross a valley and then turning toward the ocean to cross another ridge. And from high on these ridges the views are usually spectacular, taking in great expanses of that coast and Pacific Ocean panoramas…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/08/26/curving-coastline-fog/

“Pacific Coast Highway at Point Sur” — The Pacific Coast Highway traverses the Big Sur coast at Point Sur.
It was supposed to be foggy along the coast, but when I arrived on this mid-August day the fog bank had already pulled offshore, and the coast was bathed in bright sunlight. The light was clear but still a bit soft, and somehow the colors of the water were deeper than usual — perhaps the effect of a slightly darker horizon and possibly the light coming from behind my left shoulder. The Little Sur River enters the ocean via the long beach, while the distant prominence is Point Sur, the location of a historic lighthouse station…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/08/25/pacific-coast-highway-at-point-sur/
