In California, at least nine people have died as the state continues to be pummeled with record-breaking rainfall from a deadly atmospheric river storm. Some areas of Southern California recorded over 13 inches of rain in recent days, triggering mass flooding and hundreds of mudslides. This is the actor and filmmaker Deborah Puette speaking in Studio City as a river of water flowed down the street.

Deborah Puette: “We are having these — you know, these record highs in summertime and then these incredible storms that we’ve never had before, that they’re calling, you know, once-every-hundred-year storms, and we’ve had two of them since August. So, that’s my belief, is of course it’s climate change.”
