Southern California is facing another extreme-weather danger: Too much rain.

Strong winds have fanned the blaze, which at one point tripled in size in just an hour.

Extreme weather can wreak havoc on properties and their owners.

New York, New England and the rest of the Northeast have seen little rain for weeks.

Officials are cautiously optimistic that damage won't be as extreme as initial forecasts predicted.

Impacted residents in a region still recovering from Helene's devastation have been urged to evacuate again.

More than 5.2 million people face a moderate or high risk of excessive rain from the storm.

The storm came ashore in a sparsely populated area and is expected to weaken to a post-tropical cyclone.
