Just over a month after thousands fled their homes as California saw the most destructive wildfires in its history, communities across the south of the state have now been hit by flash flooding and mudslides.

For the second time this year, Southern Californians are evacuating their homes as heavy rain threatens new destruction in places still recovering from last month’s devastating wildfires.

LOS ANGELES — Southern California faces the continued risk of rock and mudslides on wildfire-scarred hillsides Friday, a day after heavy rains sent debris across several roadways, including the Pacific Coast Highway, where a fire department vehicle was pushed into the ocean.
