Southern California residents weary of a storm-soaked winter were hit Wednesday by parting shots from the season's 11th atmospheric river, which flooded roadways, caused mudslides and toppled trees throughout the state.

Statewide, more than 168,000 utility customers remained without power early Wednesday, according to poweroutage.us. For downtown Los Angeles, the National Weather Service said just under two feet of rain were recorded so far this water year - making this the 14th wettest in more than 140 years of records.
Weather in the northern and central sections of the state had dried out earlier, following Tuesday's heavy rain and fierce winds that blew out windows on a San Francisco high-rise and gusted to 74 mph at the city's airport. Runoff from a powerful atmospheric river last week burst a levee on the Pajaro River, triggering evacuations as water flooded farmland and agricultural communities. Nearly half of the people under evacuation orders were in Monterey County.
Storms powered by arctic air followed in February, creating blizzard conditions that buried mountain communities under so much snow that structures began collapsing.
