Authorities have issued evacuation warnings for burn scar areas in Southern California as a powerful storm moves into the region. The heavy rainfall raises concerns about potential flash floods and debris flows in areas previously affected by wildfires.
Emergency officials are urging residents in high-risk zones to stay alert and prepare for possible evacuations. Burn scar areas are particularly vulnerable to landslides since vegetation loss makes it harder for soil to absorb water.
The National Weather Service has warned of intense downpours, strong winds, and the risk of hazardous road conditions. Residents are advised to follow local updates and take necessary precautions as the storm progresses.
