USA - A major storm brought snow and rain to California, leading to landslides and flooding on some highways, while storm warnings were issued in other parts of the United States on Saturday.
Another storm is expected to arrive during the week of the Thanksgiving holiday, according to Torry Dooley, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
The western U.S. lowlands as far as the Great Lakes near Canada will be engulfed in rain and snow on Monday, while the U.S. east coast is expected to see worsening weather over the holiday Thursday.
Areas from Boston to New York could face rain and strong winds. Snow may fall in northern parts of New Hampshire and Maine.
The storm slammed into the Northwestern United States earlier this week, killing two people and leaving thousands without power, mostly in the Seattle area, before strong winds moved toward Northern California.
The US West Coast was hit Tuesday by a "bomb cyclone," which occurs when a cyclone rapidly intensifies. Strong winds toppled trees, damaged cars and houses.
