In Southern California, heavy rains from the strongest atmospheric river of the season resulted in severe debris flows, causing a car to be swept into the ocean and leaving roads submerged in sludge. As rain subsided, the threat of mudslides remained, particularly in burned areas where vegetation is lacking. Reports of a partially collapsed grocery store roof emerged, but all shoppers escaped uninjured. Emergency services issued evacuations around areas like Altadena due to ongoing risk and warned residents to shelter in place during active debris flows.
Debris flows from the strongest atmospheric river of the season caused severe disruptions in Southern California, sweeping a car into the ocean and leaving roads impassable.
