200 some miles and has destroyed many, many cities. one of them's mayfield. i'm actually sitting here in mayfield next to the candle factory, and everywhere throughout mayfield is a destruction. i have not seen damage like this, as i'm sitting here it's actually becoming light. you're being able to start to see the tree limbs and stuff that aren't on the trees no more. pretty much trees just chopped off, debris really -- if i stepped out of my truck right now, i'd be walking on debris. that's how much debris has been scattered across this whole area. it's -- i'm praying for all the families. i...

We have a steady parade of storms just lining up one after another after another, developing across the pacific ocean and lining up that fire hose of moisture across the western parts of the country. in fact, anywhere from northern california through oregon as well as washington that's where we have the potential to measure not only snowfall in feet for the higher elevations, but also the potential for up to a foot of rain for the lower elevations, right along the coast of washington and oregon. so the potential of flash flooding and mudslides exist, especially considering that this is a bit t...

Eventually, the slope will fail and we'll get what is called a debris flow. they can travel at speeds from 30 to 50 miles per hour, taking rock, mud, and debris along with it. and it obviously can create a lot of damage alongside that. look at the snowfall potential here across the sierra nevada mountain range and the potential for hurricane force gusts. that will take down some trees, tree limbs, and the potential for power outages along the coastal areas of california, oregon, and washington. now, kim, we can't necessarily equate this to climate change, this particular event, but we are seei...
