Powerful storm brings more wind, rain and snow to California

Onslaught has brought severe damage, including buildings crushed by snow, flooding and homes threatened by landslides

A powerful weather system from the Gulf of Alaska brought more wind, rain and snow to northern California, reeling a state already battered by months of storms.

The National Weather Service said the storm was expected to pull a plume of Pacific moisture into California as it tracked south, but the rainfall was not expected to be as intense as the atmospheric rivers that impacted the state in recent weeks.
