As residents sheltered from a once-in-80 years storm, the floor shook from an earthquake.
BBC News
BBC News reporter Regan Morris said she was walking her dog when her phone's emergency alert system went off. Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Service said the "ongoing and historic" amount of rain caused by the storm was expected to cause life-threatening to locally catastrophic flooding, as well as other issues like mudslides and landslides.
That played out in areas like Palm Springs; famously a desert town, which recorded its heaviest hour of rain ever, Mr Newsom said., were also flooded by intense rainfall.
