US-WEATHER-CALIFORNIA
A person looks out over the Pacific Ocean from the Venice Pier during a break in the rain storms affecting Southern California on December 25, 2025 in Venice, California. Torrential rains unleashed flash floods and warnings of debris flow across southern California, particularly in fire-scarred areas, with further downpours forecast for Thursday as authorities declared a state of emergency in several counties. Driven by an atmospheric river known as "the Pineapple Express," which moves heavy moisture from the tropical climes of Hawaii to the US West Coast, the storm was expected to deliver months' worth of rain over a few days.
