Authorities in California were set to assess damage on Monday after a wave of storms killed at least 19 people, swept away scores of homes and forced thousands to evacuate.

The state was expected to get a break from rain on Monday, but forecasters warned mud and rockslides are possible in canyons and steep hills as the ground is saturated after three weeks of rain and snow. Local and state emergency declarations remained in effect in Los Angeles County and dozens of other counties as the state begins to dig out.

President Joe Biden on Saturday approved California's request for a federal disaster declaration, making federal funding available to assist recovery efforts in the three counties most impacted by the storms. Reggie Cecchini has more.
