The West Coast was recently hit by a blast cyclone similar in the intensity to a powerful hurricane that killed at least two people, but could have revived a California wonder.
Before a “bomb cyclone” struck the state Sunday and dumped nearly a foot (2.425 ft.) of rain in some parts of a region that’s been impacted by a warming megawave, these 2,425-foot falls were all but vanished, as is often expected in late Summer-or autumn.

Two people were killed when a tree fell on a car while they were driving around Seattle in downtown Washington state, USA Today reported.
Additionally, one of California’s most iconic natural landmarks has been revived: the Yosemite Falls.
NorCal experienced an extreme & in some cases record-breaking rainfall yesterday. There were some flooding issues, plus debris flows in burn areas–but this single event was able to end fire season & (most likely) noticeably reduce drought severity in many places. #CAwx #CAwater

In addition to strong winds, seas along the coast will build to 25-30 ft on Sunday night & persist thru Monday. Make sure to keep your distance from the water as large waves can run further up area beaches-potentially carrying debris with them! #wawx pic.twitter.com/2ZQufdfru2
