Severe Storms Trigger Floods and Landslides in Los Angeles Burn Areas

Recent heavy rains have caused dangerous mudslides and flooding in areas recently devastated by wildfires, leading to evacuations and damage.

Heavy rainfall in Los Angeles has caused significant flooding and mudslides, particularly in areas previously affected by wildfires.
Evacuation orders were issued for several neighborhoods, including Pacific Palisades, due to heightened risks in fire-damaged regions.
A mudslide in Malibu pushed a firetruck into the ocean; the driver escaped with minor injuries and was hospitalized.
The wildfires in January destroyed over 16,200 buildings and claimed 29 lives, leaving the landscape highly vulnerable to erosion and landslides.
Although the storm has passed, authorities warn that the risk of landslides remains high in the coming days.
