Live: Powerful storm floods hit California | N18G

The northwestern U.S. avoided getting hit by a second "bomb cyclone" on Thursday (November 21) when the storm's fury came up short of forecasts, but an ongoing "atmospheric river" deluged northern California with wind and rain.
The first bomb cyclone, in which rapidly dropping pressure produces hurricane-force winds and precipitation, pounded the region on Monday and Tuesday, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people from Washington state to northern California.
A second bomb cyclone had been forecast to hit Thursday, but the storm's pressure failed to drop fast enough over a 24-hour period to earn the provocative designation, according to Joe Wegman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center.
Even so, the low-pressure system produced more wind and rain.
