Mud slides, trees fall and power is zapped as 3-day storm lashes Southern California

A flood watch remained in effect as steady rain continued to fall across much of Southern California on Tuesday, midway into a three-day storm threatening mudslides and flooding throughout the region.

The storm closed Knotts Berry Farm for the second day in a row on Tuesday, dozens of trees were reported down in Los Angeles, and thousands of customers had their power restored.

“The threat of flash flooding is minimal today (Tuesday), but due to the potential for moderate to heavy rain moving in tonight into Wednesday morning, a flood watch remains in effect through Wednesday morning for most of southwest California,” the National Weather Service said.

As of Tuesday evening, the city of Los Angeles received 126 reports of fallen trees, 97 reports of flooding and 47 reports of debris and mudflows. There were still 520 Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers without power after it was restored to more than 29,000 others.

Los Angeles County Public Works officials reiterated their debris flow forecast for the Land fire burn area east of Sun Valley.

The alert will be in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department, which said moderate flooding and mudflow/sediment deposition should be anticipated in the area of McDonald Creek, Del Arroyo Drive and La Tuna Canyon Road.
