Los Angeles, United States: Flood watches were in place over a swathe of California on Thursday (Friday in Manila) after a powerful storm dumped several inches (centimeters) of rain, with forecasters warning of yet another incoming front.

Central and northern parts of the state were walloped overnight Wednesday as a bomb cyclone, fueled by a moisture-laden atmospheric river, unleashed torrents of rain on already-soaked ground.
