The storm, which initially raged in the greater San Francisco area, moved further south on Monday and reached Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. The heavy rain triggered mudslides, flooded roads and paralyzed the power supply. The national weather service warned of wind gusts of up to 96 kilometers per hour.
