In early February 2024, two atmospheric rivers brought extensive flooding, intense winds, and power outages to portions of California. The storms caused record-breaking rainfall totals to be observed in multiple areas, as well as the declaration of states of emergency in multiple counties in Southern California.[2][3] Wind gusts of hurricane force were observed in San Francisco, along with wind gusts reaching over 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) in the Sierra Nevada mountains.[4][5] Widespread landslides occurred as a result of the storms, as well as multiple rivers overflowing due to the excessive rainfall.[6] Meteorologist Dr. Reed Timmer stated that "Biblical flooding" was possible throughout California during the atmospheric river.[7]
