Los Angeles is grappling with severe weather conditions due to a powerful storm that triggered mudslides and flooding, exacerbated by recent wildfires. Thursday's heavy rainfall, the strongest this season, led to evacuation orders in burn-scarred zones including Pacific Palisades and Altadena, while a fire department vehicle was swept into the ocean in Malibu. Dramatic rescues were performed across the region, including a security guard pulled from floodwaters. Despite the lifting of some flood alerts, the risk of mud and rockslides persists. Cleanup efforts are underway as the region braces for ongoing risks amid a backdrop of extreme weather.
