LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. – Storm-battered Southern California is beginning to dry out after a wild week of storms that flooded streets, spawned at least a few tornados, and left a trail of damage, but mudslides could still be a concern.
Hundreds of evacuees forced from homes in foothill communities are expected to learn sometime Friday whether it’s safe to for them to return home.
Officials have said the risk of mudslides can last up to 72 hours after the rains have stopped.
