Heavy rainfall and hurricane-force winds pounded much of California on Sunday, knocking out power for 900,000 customers and threatening serious floods as forecasters expect the storm to stall over major cities for the next day or two.
The storm is the second Pineapple Express weather system, or atmospheric river storm, to hit the state in the past week and arrived just as Los Angeles welcomed celebrities for the music industry's Grammy awards, where the red carpet was tented but other attendees were forced to slog through heavy rain in glitzy cocktail attire, some with only a handbag for an umbrella.
The first storm in the "Pineapple Express" soaked the state with 1-6 inches of rain Wednesday and Thursday.
The new storm is laden with even more moisture, forecasters said, setting up dangerous and deadly conditions in already-saturated regions.
