After heavy rains, debris flows hit Southern California community scarred by fire

  • By CHRISTOPHER WEBER and PATRICK WHITTLE Associated Press

Residents of a Southern California mountain community near the Eaton Fire burn scar are digging out of roads submerged in sludge after the strongest storm of the year swept through the area, unleashing debris flows. Dry weather returned to the region but the risk of rock and mudslides on wildfire-scarred hillsides continued Friday since dangerous slides can strike even after rain stops. Water, debris and boulders rushed down the mountain in the city of Sierra Madre Thursday night, trapping at least one car in the mud and damaging several home garages with mud and debris.
