Rain causes flooding near California airport

Heavy rains flooded streets around the Burbank Airport near Los Angeles. The storms have blacked out nearly 1 million homes and businesses from coast to coast, closed major roads, caused pileups and snarled air travel.

More than 300 flights were canceled and over 4,000 were delayed across the U.S., according to FlightAware.com. The National Weather Service warned of a “cold and dangerous winter storm” that would last through Saturday in California. The weather service said temperatures could drop far below normal in the region.
