This latest storm has brought down trees and power lines across the state and has also led to reports of flooding and mudslides.
Officials in Santa Cruz County, California, have told residents to stay away from the coast as large waves have eaten away at the shoreline. Because of that, roads near the coast have been flooded, and severe damage to local piers has been reported.
