Southern California is grappling with the aftermath of a powerful storm that has left roads covered in torrents of mud and floodwater, trapping vehicles across Los Angeles. While the worst of the storm has passed, cleanup efforts are ongoing as mudslides and debris flows continue to pose significant risks. Areas such as Malibu and PCH have been heavily affected, with video footage capturing the dramatic impact, including instances of vehicles and firefighters being swept into the ocean. Evacuations have been issued in fire-scarred regions due to the intense rainfall, which raises fears of further landslides. Schools have closed, and roadways are closed due to debris flows, prompting emergency responses from local crews. The atmospheric river event has transformed burn scars into perilous torrents, leaving communities scrambling to manage the destruction.
