Today, it's all about the flooding now, not the snow. After California received massive amounts of snow in the past few weeks, many residents are still buried under multiple feet of it. Unfortunately, rain is in the forecast now, with some huge storms expected to drench the region later in the week. Over 16 million people are now under flood alerts, and officials are encouraging residents to stock up on the necessities before the storm, because they could be trapped in their homes for multiple days. The good news, however, is that all of these massive storms are helping California recover from the gigantic drought that has been plaguing the state for a long time--even a few years in some areas.
