Fire-ravaged LA County hit with mudslides, flooding as heavy rain drenches region

Parts of Los Angeles County have experienced landslides and flooding following massive storms.

The National Weather Service issued a local time warning Thursday evening. It warns residents that there is a high risk of road floods, scar debris flow, strong winds or short tornadoes.

“There is a high risk of a life-threatening stream of debris right now,” the Weather Service said, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. “The flow of mud, rocks and debris can affect drainage, roads and homes just below the burned area.”

Karen Bass, Mayor of Leaguer Los Angeles, also issued a warning to residents Thursday night.

“Angelenos will need to prepare for rain until Friday. Tonight will be at the highest risk of heavy rain, flooding, debris flowing and gusts,” Mayor said. I wrote it on x.

Rocks, mud and ash overwhelmed the part of the Pacific coast's highway – leaving about one intersection below 4 feet of debrisas shown in X's post.

Floods and landslides have already been reported in the Hollywood Hills, Palisades in the Pacific Ocean and Altadena neighborhoods, the LA Times reports.

The flow of burn fragments is casually called absorption – the soil is burnt so thoroughly that the rain is not absorbed and the sediment simply follows the course of gravity.
