A soaking storm has swept into Southern California, triggering mudslides, flooding streets and cutting power to tens of thousands after lashing the rest of the state with much-needed rain.
The storm system has been blamed for two deaths in Oregon, thousands of power outages in Washington State and flooded roadways in the San Francisco Bay area.
The deluge from the intense storm caused part of a hillside about 80 km northwest of Los Angeles to give way.
