Pacific Coast Highway faces significant closures due to severe rain and mudslides from an atmospheric river storm. The Los Angeles Fire Department reported that vehicles were swept off the highway, and a member was injured but is recovering. The National Weather Service has warned of life-threatening debris flows amid ongoing storm conditions, emphasizing increased risk to roads, residential areas, and infrastructure, especially those affected by previous firestorms. Crews are actively working to clear debris and restore safety along the highway.
"We ask all residents to avoid driving during the peak of the storm and to exercise extreme caution," said Scott.
"There is now a high risk for a life-threatening debris flow," the weather service said. "Mud, rock and debris flows will have the potential to impact drainages, roads and residences in and directly below the burn area."
