People use kayaks and a canoe to make their way around a flooded parking lot at a shopping center on Thursday in Healdsburg, Calif. A powerful storm slammed Northern California after moving through Oregon and Washington state, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands, delaying air, rail, and road traffic, and creating havoc. The so-called Pineapple Express dumped nearly a foot of much-needed rain on the drought-stricken Golden State before moving toward Los Angeles on Friday.
