    Los Angeles: Disastrous flooding could hit parts of California this weekend, forecasters warned Friday, as the eighth storm in succession barreled in over land already too waterlogged to soak up any more rain. Image Credit: Reuters

    The most populous US state has been pummeled by near-record downpours over a very wet three weeks, which have already caused flooding, landslides and widespread power outages. Image Credit: Reuters

    At least 19 people are known to have died as communities struggle to cope with the constant deluge. On Friday yet another system moved in, with forecasters warning the Monterey Peninsula could be cut off and the whole city of Salinas - home to 160,000 people - flooded. Image Credit: AFP

    The Salinas River, already swollen by weeks of torrential rain, was expected to peak some time Friday, breaching its banks in a flood that could last until Sunday. Image Credit: Reuters

    Evacuation orders and warnings were widespread, with forecasters saying major roads could become impassable - including highways that link the Monterey Peninsula with the rest of the county. Image Credit: Reuters

    Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto told reporters Thursday that floodwater could strand people. "This is a slow-moving event" and not all places will be impacted at once, she said. "The river crests at different times." Image Credit: Bloomberg

    Workers have rushed out in between storms to clear up some of the mess left behind, shoveling mud from roads even in the heart of Los Angeles. Crews have cut up felled trees, and heavy machinery have been drafted in to move rockslides. Image Credit: Reuters

    Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses have been left without power at various times - sometimes repeatedly - as rickety infrastructure has taken a battering. Image Credit: AP

    And it's not over yet, forecasters say. "The ongoing unsettled weather in the West associated with the active Atmospheric River pattern unfortunately continues into this weekend with another couple rounds of heavy precipitation forecast," the NWS said. Image Credit: AP

    Over the mountains, that precipitation was falling as snow, with more than three feet (a meter) expected in the Sierra Nevada range, making travel dangerous or impossible, even as thousands of skiers and snowboarders head for fresh powder over the Martin Luther King, Jr Day holiday weekend.

    Among those who have died in the last three weeks were drivers who were found in submerged cars, people struck by falling trees, a husband and wife killed in a rockfall, and people whose bodies were discovered in floodwaters. Image Credit: AP

    Winter storms are not unusual in California, where most of the annual rain comes in a fairly concentrated period. But global warming, driven by the industrial era's unchecked use of fossil fuels, is supercharging storms, making them wetter and wilder. Image Credit: Reuters

    At the same time, the western United States is aridifying, with much of the region in its 23rd year of drought. Hydrologists say the recent rains are helping - California has received an average of almost nine inches (23 centimeters) of rain since late December - but are not a fix. Image Credit: AFP
