hail and flooding, which has killed one and stranded several
motorists.
Brett Alan Usher, 25, died Tuesday in Forest Falls,
California, after he was swept away by floodwaters during a first date,
KTLA-TV reported. The couple was trying cross a swollen river when they
were pulled under. His body was later recovered by authorities.
The woman was reunited with her family after she was discovered by hikers, NBC News reported.

Raging
floodwaters stranded multiple motorists in Southern California, and San
Bernardino County firefighters conducted a swift-water rescue Tuesday
night, according to the Victor Valley Daily Press.
“Moisture from
Tropical Storm Linda is reaching north into portions of Southern
California. The amount of moisture in the atmosphere is considerably
above average and will help promote drenching thunderstorms across the
