The California “weather bomb” storm has eased in south, while pressing on further north in the state.
Heavy rains, flash floods and mud slides wreaked havoc on February 17 and 18, killing at least five people.
According to meteorologists, it was the worst storm to hit California in years.
Forecasters warned residents in the north, including San Francisco, to expect more heavy rain on February 19.
Meteorologists described the storm as “bombogenesis”, an intense extra-tropical cyclonic low-pressure area, or “a weather bomb”.
One man was killed after a tree fell and pulled a power line on to his car in the Sherman Oaks area of LA.
A second person died in a vehicle when it was submerged by a flash flood in the town of Victorville.
Two others died in car accidents in the San Diego area, and another person was found dead after being swept into a creek in Ventura County.
Evacuation orders were lifted in the towns of Duarte on February 18.
The northern California has already experienced fears of flooding at the tallest dam in the country, Oroville Dam, when more than 180,000 residents were evacuated from their homes last week.
Authorities at the dam have been working to lower the level of the lake and have said it has continued to fall despite the storm.
