California: Thousands Gather to Mourn 20 Killed in Mudslides Near Santa Barbara
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, in California, thousands of people gathered
on Sunday night to commemorate the 20 people who have died in the deadly
mudslides in Montecito near Santa Barbara. At least three people remain
missing, including a 2-year-old girl. The deadly mudslides come after
Southern California was ravaged by historic and deadly winter wildfires.
Both wildfires and torrential downpours, which triggered the mudslides,
have been linked to climate change.
