Скачать или смотреть 1 MIN AGO: California's Wettest Christmas Ever Recorded — "12 Million Under Flood Alert!"

California is experiencing its wettest Christmas ever recorded — and the consequences are turning deadly.

A powerful atmospheric river slammed into the state over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, delivering extreme rainfall at rates rarely seen in modern records. Four people are confirmed dead. More than 100 rescues have already taken place. Entire mountain communities are buried under mud, debris, and floodwater.

But this is not just a story about rain.

This video breaks down why these floods are different, how last year’s wildfires created invisible danger zones, and why burn scars are turning ordinary storms into fast-moving debris flows with almost no warning. Using official data from NOAA, NASA, Cal OES, USGS, and emergency agencies, we explain how atmospheric rivers work, why they are intensifying, and how fire-damaged soil fundamentally changes the physics of flooding.

You’ll see how communities like Wrightwood were overwhelmed in minutes, why major highways vanished under water, how power and communication systems failed, and why millions of Californians remain under flood alerts even after the heaviest rain has passed.

This is a slow-motion disaster shaped by climate, fire, infrastructure limits, and physics — not panic.

No exaggeration. No speculation. Just what is happening, why it’s happening, and what scientists still can’t predict.

Stay informed. Stay aware. And if you live in a flood- or fire-prone area, take official warnings seriously.
