San Francisco braces for bomb cyclone as residents stockpile sandbags - 'atmospheric river' to slam into California bringing severe flooding and loss of life

A massive storm system is approaching California, bringing with it the threat of heavy rain, high winds, and feet of snow in the Sierra region

Rain is expected to be so heavy the NWS says it's possible that human lives will be lost during the storm

Known as the Pineapple Express the storm is expected to rapidly intensify into what meteorologists refer to as a 'bomb cyclone' over the northern Pacific Ocean bringing an atmospheric river of moisture into the state

This will be the third storm in California to bring an atmospheric river since the end of December, including one on New Year's Eve that caused severe flooding and debris flows

It is expected to hit the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday and cause devastating flooding and power outages

'This will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale,' a Bay Area meteorologist said

San Francisco was already hit with flooding after a New Year's Eve storm and is expected to experience more flooding throughout Wednesday and Thursday

The storm, which is largely taking place in the ocean, could cause loss of life, in addition to the two deaths that occurred over the weekend due to flooding
