DEVELOPING STORY: Tens of thousands of people are without power across California after a powerful winter storm system, known as a bomb cyclone, pounded the region. Several levees and dams have either been breached or are in danger of breaking. There are also fears of flooding and landslides. Thousands have already been ordered to evacuate their homes and head to higher ground. EDITOR’S NOTE: Todd Starnes owns one of the top conservative radio stations in the nation.

I come from the east coast, I’ve survived Sandy, I’ve lived in NOLA, but this is the first time I am legitimately scared of a storm. So many houseless people in the Bay Area, so many homes on hills. Seriously hope everyone stayed safe #NorthernCalifornia #BombCyclone pic.twitter.com/YD3J6oEpM9

Why is this #BombCyclone a big deal? It’s not “a bit of rain”.

• 50-70 mph wind gusts in valleys, up to 90 mph in mountains.
• 4-8 inches of rain, locally 10+ on the North Coast
• Ground already saturated – high flood and power outage risk
• Terrain means mudslide risk #CAwx pic.twitter.com/9XPUWK4KeS
