Devastating Weather Causes Flood, Road Collapses, Kills 4 In California(photos). by Explorers(m): 6:27am On Feb 19, 2017
At least 4 people died after a powerful storm pummeled Southern California on Friday night, flooding numerous roadways in Los Angeles and San Diego.

The worst storm to hit Southern California in decades.

Friday's storm threatened mudslides in foothills areas denuded by fire and toppled hundreds of trees and power lines.

A Los Angeles sinkhole swallowed two cars and a firetruck spilled off a freeway shoulder when the roadway collapsed in the Cajon Pass, but no one was hurt.

Man, 55, died in hospital after he was electrocuted when a tree downed power lines near Los Angeles.

Another man drowned in Victorville when his silver Mercedes was overtaken by a flash flood.

More than 131,000 people lost power Friday as a result of fierce storms.




Pictured is the storm clouds form over the Hollywood Freeway in Los Angeles on Friday.

Blessed how?

Is it not the same Nigeria where rain falls for 30 minutes and everywhere is flooded with dirty and disgusting gutter water?

Is it not the same Nigeria where people burn thieves up?

Is it not the same Nigeria where we kill everything simply because of hunger?

Is it not the same Nigeria that you can never experience 24 hour power supply?

Is it not the same Nigeria where we have corrupt officers?

Is it not the same Nigeria where we have pot holes on major roads?

Is it not the same Nigeria that has a high birth mortality rate?

Is it not the same Nigeria that Nigerians are doing their best to get out of?

Where the fvck is the blessing in this country?

As blessed as we are in this Country, we don't get to experience such hazards, but more human problems.
My prayers are with the wounded and to the dead, RIP.
See how a good govt will immediately arrange for palliatives, remedy the situation and ensure people get their lives back, unlike the situation here, where personal interests, will make some mofos (polithiefcians) still take advantage of the situation.

Flood water crosses over Interstate 5 at Williams backing up traffic in both north and southbound lanes for hours on Saturday in Williams, Calif.

Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area were facing a weekend return of heavy rain and winds that lashed them earlier in the week before the storm moves out.
