california. and we want to be sure that we have this close communication with those utility companies to ensure that they can restore power as quickly as they possibly can. as california prices for disruption authorities of telling people to stay home . for more i'm joined by matthew poochie and media. all it is currently in palm springs in california. matthew does california know how to prepare for a tropical storm? i choose be told, i'm not exactly sure they do. everything i've seen so far indicates they're doing a good job of putting out sandbags or preparing for flooding. but i'm not sure people really have the past experience to understand what's coming their way. so often people prepare for something. they drawn their past experiences. it's not really the case this time. you know where i am, for example, we could see a year's worth of rainfall in 2 days time. consider death valley, california. they average $5.00 centimeters per year. they can see $7.00 to $10.00

centimeters total out of this. and their record for 3 days is $4.00 centimeters. so unprecedented. plenty is likely a lot of the areas and in the desert where we are right now, there's simply no place for the water to go. matthew, i lived in california for 10 years, so i know when you hear some areas expect a year's rain and only a few days a signal. so a potential disaster, especially given the landscape there michael, you're exactly right. you know, as we said, the water has no place to go and especially across the entire great basin of nevada . that's the night largest endo haired base and in the world. the biggest in north america with that means is basically it's a base and it doesn't drain. 2 rivers, doesn't drain to the ocean. it's just like a bowl. the capture the water and that will be the case this time. so any burn scars and past wildfires will turn into month flows and debris blows. landslides are likely in the higher terrain. and then in the desert where it's flat, it will just kind of sit there. and so we're expecting number of roadways to be washed out as well. you know, as well as anyone we're seeing

a summer of climate extremes. i imagine that's intensified the debate about climate change in the u. s. or i think so in this particular event is an interesting one because it bears both some fingerprints of climate change. and also a lot of natural chaos are random is sort of overlapping into this. an interesting storm. for starters, this is a pattern that would favor heavy rainfall, potential flooding anyway, we have an upper level low particle there. low pressure is been off the west coast . the united states states has been in counter clockwise. we, they feed them spinning clockwise over the plains in between 8 shan, with moisture kind of snakes upwards. so yes, there will be rain any way. however, a warmer world is often times a winter world for every degrees celsius, the air temperature increases the air and hold about 7 percent more water. so episodes like this, which in the past would already a probably heavy rainfall might be kind of pushed into that heavy record territory . one thing to know to were also forecasting some strong winds, not hurricane spring, but guess up to about 60 or 80 kilometers per hour. are possible in the lower

terrain, 110 kilometers per hour in the mountains. and surprisingly, a tornado risk to here in the desert. something. and frankly, i can't remember the last time i was storm chasing. and tornado chasing in a desert. this is a very strange event. matthew poochie coming to us from palm springs today. many thanks is ever. thank you. the. and the final whistle has just sounded moments ago, spain won the women's world cup for the 1st time in their history. they beat inc, when one mill in the final, in sydney, australia, olga, come on, us, struck and late in the 1st half to give her team the lead. and they never look like losing from their england. wanted to add the world cup to their euro. 2022 crown. but they couldn't find the form that saw them storm to the final. joining us from sidney, you just heard. there is a lima head. talkie of dw sports,

lima england were many people's favorites, but were spring were the winners. yes they were and if you speak to the parents, yeah, it's a fantastic divide. they went and the majority, but the spanish friends where it's stream the loud and from the get go. i mean, spray may know tang technical view and a 4 foot on and that has won over england pragmatism. the battle was always in mich fields and spain out england in there. they push of the time and struggling to get out of their own zone. um, so yeah, for the 1st time, either way, i mean, either way it says that this was not, would have gone, we have a new window at the women's was talking about spraying definitely dominated this match. they didn't even have to be that to me because that wasn't even one critic that i had of them. that if they're not pretty close enough that this might cost them minus the n one vote. they are definitely worthy when i really winters

a new winner and the 1st time winters indeed, spanish women's football the lead. and it has come a long way in a short while. what does this mean for the game? there are a lot a lot. i mean, almost it doesn't matter when it comes to women support on screen, obviously they have a need that have a certain team set up professionalize. they have to no, no, of course that has been goes successful on the champion suite level. a lot of, i think this team is actually made out of the box and wound up they are. but in terms of support and still trying to get attention to that still has a lot of potential. there's still so much improvement. there's a few, a spanish fans and i talked to and they said that it's not on the same level in terms of, even now as when they've been speaking to some of this. how many members back home, there isn't even

a lot of interest. a lot of people are not even aware of that same just a screen after you went as far as i was applying the definitely not for improvements to this. there was so much hope for england. they couldn't add to their year 2022 title. what went wrong for them a lima? well, i was even wrong because i said, what has the adage and that thing, that is a team that doesn't matter how big of a whole that thing and they always somehow managed to dig themselves out. but i think in, mismatched from all the games, and i have seen england to say this was perhaps one of their worst performances, but also of credit to spain, cuz they just couldn't deal with spain. technicality possession game. and they were just, we have thoughts are, accept the fact that spain all fast, then it's going to be a long and happy night in spain. lima talkie, many,
