A winter downpour in Los Angeles caused mudslides on Mulholland Drive and led to evacuations in areas affected by recent wildfires. The heavy rain prompted flash flood warnings for burn scar areas, including the Palisades Fire burn scar. Evacuation orders were issued for various areas, with some lasting until Friday afternoon. The National Weather Service warned of the possibility of mud and rock slides even after the rain stopped. In Malibu, an SUV was pushed into the ocean by a debris flow, but the driver, a firefighter, escaped with minor injuries. Mandatory evacuations were also issued in Orange County and Ventura County due to mudslide fears. A total of 32 million people in the state were under flood watches as heavy rain continued. Rainfall amounts were expected to range from 1 to 3 inches along the coast and valleys, with higher amounts in mountainous areas. The rainstorm caused significant disruptions and damage throughout Southern California, highlighting the ongoing risk of natural disasters in the region.
