Relentless Winter Storm Unleashes Chaos Across California

          A car is buried in mud after a series of storms Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025, in Wrightwood, Calif.

A powerful winter storm sweeping across California has triggered widespread flooding, dangerous mudslides, and significant disruptions to daily life. The system, fueled by an atmospheric river, dumped several inches of rain in a matter of hours, overwhelming drainage systems and saturating already‑vulnerable hillsides.

Communities in Southern California were hit especially hard as rushing water inundated streets, stranded vehicles, and forced emergency crews into swift‑water rescues. In the foothill regions, mudslides tore through neighborhoods, damaging homes and prompting mandatory evacuations in areas scarred by recent wildfires.

State officials urged residents to remain alert as additional rainfall is expected to continue through the weekend. Meteorologists warn that even moderate showers could trigger further landslides due to unstable ground conditions.

Despite the challenges, emergency responders and local volunteers have mobilized quickly, setting up shelters and distributing supplies to displaced families. As the storm continues its path, Californians brace for more turbulent weather while hoping for a swift return to calmer conditions.
