a series of relentless and powerful storms. torrential rains and high winds had forced authorities to issue warnings for large parts of the state. in santa barbara county, alton cousin residence of the star studded town of monte c. to my asked to leave the price of living is interviewed with the front. they did by very mobile lot of people invented truth. this rock flight and flat water force, the closure of a highway sign to 3, these powerful storms. i'd climate change induced disasters dealing with this new reality. likewise, climate adaptation and climate resilient infrastructure towards getting a lot hotter dry is getting a lot dryer, but the wet skinny la, la,

wetter as well. and as a consequence of this, not in terms of our deeper understanding in our consciousness as it relates to our live realities. but also in terms of policy making, we are moving dramatically in different directions then of thousands of people remain without power and focused his expect maureen, on top of the heavy down bones we asked meteorologist matthew capuchin, sacramento, california, whether these latest storms are becoming norm. ready most definitely, so we talk about the winter time weather patterns in california. it's either feast or famine. some winter's you see next to no precipitation whatsoever. other times you get patterns of atmospheric rivers. so what's an atmospheric grammar? basically this filament of moisture from the d tropical pacific that just comes into the coast like a fire hose in the lowlands. the central valley, the co sign, you see prolific rainfall rates in the mountains. you see tons of snow also this

year in about recently. so one to 2 meters us now in just the past 48 hour. but the big issue, the flooding someplace is seen 2 to 4 inches. that's about 10, almost 12 centimeters and below cows up to 30 centimeters in the higher to rate of the santa cruz mountains. so rods, rock slides, my slides issues the flooding as well, and 14 people bed so far from this learning leaders of the us, canada, and mexico have been holding a 2nd day of talks in mexico city. event is known as the 3 amigos summit security, and our economic issues are front and center. but there are also tensions over tackling illegal immigration and drug smuggling. a. d. w. washington bureau chief in his polls and mexico city covering the summit units. thanks for joining us. what is joe biden's message so far in mexico? so, you know, he and also the 2 other leaders really want to demonstrate unity saying that we can only be powerful if he stick together. obviously,
