California storm Lucifer had caused at least four deaths, created dramatic sinkholes, tossed boulders onto highways, and toppled trees into rooftops.

The flooding was very serious; one man died when a flash flood consumed his vehicle, according to CBS Los Angeles. Another man caught up in that flood sat on the roof of his car until help arrived, the television station reported.

Not surprisingly, then, the weather mass has provoked some interesting and dramatic photos and videos. The rain was continuing February 18 and expected to dump some 10 trillion gallons of water on the state overall. Some of them were scary, and others were whimsical:

Here are some of the photos and videos from Storm Lucifer organized by category:
