Heavy Rain Pummels Slide-Prone Southern California

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Heavy rain is falling across Southern California, creating deluges of water and mud on roads at the bottom of hillsides left barren by recent wildfires. One swift debris flow in Malibu swept a Los Angeles Fire Department vehicle off the Pacific Coast Highway and into the ocean. Evacuations have been ordered in some Los Angeles neighborhoods due to Thursday’s weather. The West Coast storms are just the latest in a week of bad weather across the U.S. Snow and ice caused major pileups on highways in Oregon and Washington, injuring at least 10 people.
