Pineapple Express soaks California

A weather phenomenon known as a Pineapple Express soaked California yesterday with heavy rainfall and snow in the mountains. Listen to this report to learn about the Pineapple Express. You will hear one of the meterologists from the NWS Weather Forecast Office in Los Angeles tell us what a Pineapple Express is. I am less familiar with the Pineapple Express so I learned something.

There was some flooding and debris flows along with white conditions in the mountains. I don't know if there were any debris flows on or near any burn scars.
