Torrential Downpours Cause Mudslides In California



(Los Angeles, CA) -- West Coast residents are cleaning up after torrential downpours that raged through the area over the weekend. Residents of La Canada Flintridge, California spent Sunday digging out from under a mudslide that was caused by the heavy rain. About 500 homes were evacuated as mud and debris flowed down hillsides stripped bare by last summer's Station Fire. Mud flows damaged at least 25 vehicles and 43 homes, with some houses being red tagged as uninhabitable. Forecasters are calling for more rain to hit the region on Tuesday.
