California experiences snow and tornadoes as result of storm

• Tornadoes and strong winds have caused widespread power outages.
• And floods, and the closure of beaches and highways in California.
• With more than 120,000 people without electricity.

Tornadoes and strong winds were delivered by a winter storm that pushed eastward and dumped unheard-of amounts of snow on southern California.

As severe weather moves into the area through Monday, residents of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas were urged to seek shelter.

There were reports of damaged homes and downed power lines that cut off thousands of people’s electricity.

Later in the week, severe weather is anticipated to reach the upper Midwest.

The hurricane that blasted through the US state of California has already caused widespread power outages, floods, and the closure of both beaches and highways.

After days of violent winds, more than 120,000 people lost electricity, many of them in the Los Angeles area.

About 43,900 houses in California were still without electricity as of Monday. As the storm progressed northeast, an additional 52,970 people were also without power in Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.

Seven tornadoes were reported to have touched down in Oklahoma late on Sunday. Video of homes with collapsed roofs and overturned cars due to the severe winds was captured.

At least 12 weather-related injuries were reported by authorities.

On the Oklahoma border in northern Texas, wind gusts of 114 mph (183 km/h), or a Category 3 hurricane, were measured.

A “deep mid-latitude cyclone” that will bring showers and thunderstorms to parts of the Midwest is predicted to reach on Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Another storm is anticipated to hit parts of Michigan, where more than 136,000 people still don’t have power as a result of a winter storm last week.

As regions of the east experienced record-high temperatures last week due to extreme weather, California struggled with uncommon snowfall and one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the state.

Interstate 5 on the West Coast’s north-south highway was closed due to the storm. On Sunday, it reopened.

Yet due to the harsh winter weather, Yosemite National Park will stay closed until Wednesday.

Due to lightning strikes in LA County on Saturday, all beaches were closed for a period of time, according to the authorities.

Also, there were reports of grounded flights in the area.

Sacramento, the state’s capital, has issued a travel advisory for the days of Sunday through Wednesday due to the return of rain and snow.

A precautionary state of emergency was proclaimed in one county in Oregon, California‘s northern neighbor.

The authorities claimed that by doing this, it would be possible to promptly allocate the required tools and resources in the event of a later request.

There haven’t been any reports of storm-related fatalities or significant injuries up to this point.

Snowflakes were observed falling earlier this week in Los Angeles, a city renowned for its palm trees and sun-kissed boulevards.

A snow flurry encircling the Hollywood sign on Mount Lee was a spectacle that locals were spotted marveling over.
