A severe storm is hitting California, bringing heavy rains that may assist in combating the Pack Fire in Mono County, which has destroyed at least 15 homes and is zero percent contained. Mandatory evacuations are in effect for two communities, while 23 million residents face flood watches, raising concerns about potential mudslides in areas affected by previous wildfires. The storm could mark the end of California’s fire season but poses risks of significant rainfall causing flash floods. Officials urge residents in vulnerable regions to prepare evacuation plans as heavy rain is expected to lead to the wettest November in Los Angeles in 40 years.
