Third Major Storm to Hit California

From the Daily Mail:

Just days after a series of storms battered Northern California, leaving two people dead and thousands without power, forecasters are projecting that yet another major storm system will hit the region, bringing with it strong winds and serious flooding.
Officials from the National Weather Service say the storm, the third to hit the region since Wednesday, is likely to arrive sometime Sunday evening. Already, authorities have issued flood warnings for both the Napa and Russian rivers, as well as several areas north of San Francisco.
Meanwhile, neighboring Nevada has also declared a state of emergency in a number of major cities in anticipation of flooding.
With heavily saturated ground, even a relatively mild earthquake could cause land slides.
