热带风暴瑞秋的残留系统周末席卷南加州沿海地区和拉斯维加斯，引发强劲海浪和严重洪水。1 长滩至少9栋房屋因灾情被判定不安全无法进入，风暴造成的财产损失超过100万美元。1 与此同时，拉斯维加斯在10月单日降雨记录上达到1.08英寸（2.74厘米）。1
气象专家表示，此次风暴的强劲程度与厄尔尼诺现象密切相关。1 过去五次太平洋飓风均达到大型飓风级别，风速至少111英里/小时，其中一场飓风更是创造了五级飓风持续时间记录。1 科罗拉多州立大学研究员Phil Klotzbach指出过去一个月天气"疯狂"，他表示："今年，刚形成的一切都持续很长时间并变得非常强大。"1 美国国家海洋和大气管理局的模型显示这可能是一场历史性厄尔尼诺事件。1
Southern California coastal communities endured significant damage this past weekend as remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel brought intense waves and widespread flooding to the region.1 At least nine homes in Long Beach were deemed unsafe for occupancy, with storm-related losses exceeding one million dollars.1 The tempestuous conditions extended inland, with Las Vegas recording 1.08 inches of rainfall in a single day in October, setting a new daily precipitation record for the month.1
Meteorologists attribute the unusual severity of recent Pacific storms to what may be a historically significant El Niño pattern.1 According to Phil Klotzbach, a researcher at Colorado State University, recent weather conditions have been "crazy," noting that "everything that forms this year lasts a very long time and becomes very strong."1 Over the past five Pacific hurricanes, each reached major hurricane status with sustained winds of at least 111 miles per hour, with one storm establishing a record for the longest duration at Category 5 intensity.1 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's models suggest these conditions may represent a historic El Niño episode.1
