A satellite image showed the heavy storm as it entered the area, inundating the west coast with torrential rain. The storm is so powerful the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is sending its hurricane hunter to better understand this severe weather."This may be one of the most challenging and impactful series of storms to touch down in California in the last five years," said Nancy Ward, director of the California governor's office of emergency services.
In Sacramento County, some spots are still flooded from last weekend's deadly storm, a storm that broke a levee. That levee has since been plugged, and officials are hoping that it holds through this storm and the rain that's expected the next few days.
