In the wake of an atmospheric tempest of biblical magnitude drenching California in an unprecedented downpour over the past trio of days, a subtle reprieve began to manifest on Tuesday. However, cautionary advisories persist, urging residents not to lower their vigilance.

The majority of the state’s southern hemisphere remained ensconced under flood surveillance on Tuesday, accompanied by alerts concerning swiftly coursing water conduits.

A tragic fatality unfolded on Tuesday as an individual endeavored to traverse the US-Mexico border into California via the Tijuana River channel, as disclosed by US Customs and Border Protection. This occurrence augmented the death toll to four, following the demise of three individuals in northern California due to toppling trees amidst hurricane-force winds.

In Los Angeles County, 16 individuals and five felines were extricated, as reported by the Associated Press.

The precipitation is anticipated to gradually abate heading into Wednesday. Lingering prospects of sporadic thunderstorms persist in specific regions of California, the lower Colorado River Valley, and Arizona.

The meteorological upheaval, spurred by an immense atmospheric river, orchestrated one of the most precipitation-laden bi-day spans in the annals of southern California. Within LA’s Westwood enclave, an approximate accumulation of 12 inches of rain transpired within a 24-hour span, according to US Stormwatch. Nearly 400 mudslides have ensued across Los Angeles, with an undisclosed number of residences left in disrepair.

As of Tuesday evening, upwards of 125,000 individuals endure power outages.
