Southern California is besieged by a catastrophic storm, leading to evacuation warnings and orders across multiple counties.

Areas with burn scars from past wildfires are under strict evacuation orders, while other regions face evacuation warnings due to potential threats.

The state is providing shelters and sandbags for residents, with road closures in place to ensure safety amid flooding and mudslides.

Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a State of Emergency in eight counties as nearly 38 million people are on flood alert.

Residents are urged to communicate their experiences to The Guardian, as the ground remains saturated and the flooding threat continues.

President Joe Biden has committed to federal aid for the affected regions, and residents seeking assistance should contact 211 or arrange shelter through friends, family, or the American Red Cross.
