Authorities, fearing the effect of additional rain on hillsides and creek beds already saturated by a massive storm earlier this month, issued flash flood warnings for a swath of L.A. from Malibu to Griffith Park as well as portions of the San Fernando Valley.
A slow-moving winter storm that pelted Los Angeles with steady rain Monday was expected to subside briefly Tuesday before roaring back at nightfall with heavy downpours, strong winds and the possibility of thunder and lightning. Residents were encouraged to remain in their homes and stay vigilant for signs of mudslides. There were scattered reports of mudslides throughout the day, including on Pacific Coast Highway near Santa Monica; the U.S.
44 and the Alisal Reservoir near Solvang 5.93. Many areas are still recovering from the four-day early February atmospheric river that inundated much of the state and dropped up to 14 inches of rain on L.A. alone. In Rancho Palos Verdes, residents in neighborhoods vulnerable to landslides were bracing for the possibility of the saturated ground shifting underneath their houses as more rain fell.
