A powerful storm has hit southern and central California carrying strong winds and heavy rain which have killed at least two people.
More than 300 flights have been delayed or canceled at Los Angeles International Airport.
There have been evacuations in some neighbourhoods because of the potential for mudslides.
The extreme weather is also being blamed for the appearance of a huge sinkhole in the LA suburb of Studio City.
Two cars fell into the gaping hole that appeared in the middle of Woodbridge Street.
A local news helicopter caught the moment when the second car fell into the chasm.
Miraculously, a woman who drove straight into the hole was rescued shortly afterwards by firefighters.
