Overview
Heavy rains triggered mudslides in Southern California, especially in areas previously affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires. Evacuation orders were issued in Sierra Madre and along major roads like the Pacific Coast Highway. Mud and debris inundated streets, prompting cleanup efforts from city officials and volunteers. Reports indicate at least one car was trapped in mud, and damage assessments are ongoing. As communities deal with residual risks, challenges include the potential for future landslides due to the loss of vegetation from wildfires and saturated soil. Nationwide, severe weather impacts were felt across the US, leading to power outages.
