California storm leaves thousands without power, another 'atmospheric river' looms

14 Sept 06:10 Key points summarised by AI

Thousands remain without power across Northern California after recent severe storms brought fierce winds and torrential rain, uprooting trees and damaging infrastructure.
Another 'atmospheric river' storm is imminent, expected to sweep across California from Friday through the weekend, bringing more heavy showers, gusty winds, and significant snowfall to higher elevations.
The successive deluges heighten risks of flash flooding and mudslides, particularly in areas already saturated or denuded by past wildfires, following a period that saw San Francisco's wettest 10-day stretch in over 150 years.
Authorities urge residents to prepare for the continued severe weather, which has already claimed at least six lives and disrupted travel and daily life across the state.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
