Life-threatening storms bring heavy rain and flooding to California – BBC News
Life-threatening storms have brought heavy rain and flooding to large parts of California.
More than 22 million people are currently under flood watch, according to the National Weather Service – almost as many as the population of Australia – and thousands have had to evacuate.
At least seventeen people are now known to have died, with officials warning the conditions could lead to further, dangerous landslides.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

I think it should be investigated in the past and present in terms of political impartiality and credibility whether BBC News was informed and deliberately withheld from the people the now-known state structures.

It's funny how this comment section is filled with people hating on California, as if their state is perfect and doesn't have any natural occurrences. Come on people, every state has their weather AND political issues. Show some sympathy. Sheesh.

They are only “heavy flooding rains” b/c most of these homes/housing developments have been built on hillsides prone to landslides because of soil type OR many have been built on old garbage dumps. California infrastructure has been in shambles for decades because of greedy developers greasing the palms of their politicians.
Californians have been complaining about drought for many years now and lake Meade is drying up as well as the level of the Colorado River going down rapidly. California has sucked water out of the water table of many neighboring states for decades. The millionaires need to keep their pools filled, their cars washes, and the lawns watered. All the while telling others to conserve water. You would think they would be. Grateful for the rain. The drought has ended for a time anyway. Funny how the planet corrects itself all on its own. 😃
