Heavy rain has been pounding Southern California this weekend, and officials say at least one person has died because of the storm.
Evacuation warnings and orders in Los Angeles County were lifted Saturday night, according to LA County Fire Department Capt. Brian Kight. Although rain is still impacting the region, the worst of the storms has moved through, he said.
At least 22 million people were impacted by the floods and strong winds.
The first round of heavy rain slammed the region early Saturday morning, and the second round hit between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. local time.

Reports of damage and flooding were reported throughout the state.
A 71-year-old man was killed Friday afternoon after water pushed his Mazda CX-5 off the Pleasant Grove Creek Bridge in Sutter County, according to the California Highway Patrol. The bridge had about two to three feet of water flowing over the road following the recent heavy rain.
Wildfire burn scar areas were of serious concern because they’re extremely prone to flash flooding, mudslides and debris flows. But flooding and mudslides pose a major threat to Southern California in general, beyond just burn scar areas.

The mountains of Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties will likely see some of the biggest rain totals, with as much as 4 to 6 inches of rain. On average, LA records 0.8 inches of rain in the entire month of November.
The heavy rain will end Saturday night, but an unsettled weather pattern will stick around into early next week with more wet weather on the way. Flash flooding, debris flows, mudslides and landslides will remain concerns for several days as more rain falls over saturated soils and very sensitive areas.
