Residents of a southern California mountain community near the Eat Fire burn scar are digging out after the strongest storm of the year swept through the community Thursday, submerging roads in flood waters and unleashing debris flows.
The risk of rock and mudslides on wildfire-scarred hillsides continued Friday.
Water, debris and boulders rushed down the mountain in the city of Sierra Madre on Thursday night, trapping cars in the mud and damaging several home garages. The city sent bulldozers Friday to clean up the mud-covered streets.
Southern California reported 2.5 to 7 centimetres of rain in coastal areas and valleys and 7.6 to 15.2 centimetres across the coastal slopes on Thursday, according to a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
