Share this article

Heavy rain swept through Southern California, helping to extinguish wildfires like the Palisades and Eaton fires. However, it also caused mudslides and debris flows in burn scar areas. Major roads, including Tejon Pass on Interstate 5, were temporarily closed due to snowy conditions. While the rain provided much-needed relief to the drought-stricken region, authorities warned residents in burn areas of toxic ash and debris risks. Schools in Malibu closed due to hazardous road conditions.
