Risk rises for #mudslides around #LACounty fire zones; prepare for worst-case scenario, officials warn
Alene Tchekmedyian, Rong-Gong Lin II, Melody Gutierrez, LA Times
January 26, 2025
"With more rain on the way, officials warned Sunday of an increasing risk of mudslides in #LosAngelesCounty's burn areas, with a 10% to 20% chance of significant #FlashFlooding and #DebrisFlows capable of damaging roads and homes in and around areas devastated by #wildfires.
"'This is the worst-case scenario to prepare for,' said Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"'We do have increasing concern for the #BurnScars,' Lund said. The charred footprint of the Eaton fire, which blackened more than 14,000 acres, is the most worrisome. 'These #FlashFloods and these debris flows could happen in and near or below these burn scars.'
"A #FloodWatch took effect at 10 a.m. Sunday and was set to continue through 4 p.m. Monday for the burned areas of the #EatonFire in the #Altadena and #Pasadena areas; the #PalisadesFire and #FranklinFires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas; the Hughes fire around Lake Castaic; and the Bridge fire in the San Gabriel Mountains west and southwest of Wrightwood. The flood watch started six hours earlier than originally anticipated as rain began falling steadily around Los Angeles."

If you consider traveling here probably best for Europeans and others to think of the States as individuals rather like europe before the e u. And then there is #losangelesCounty at over 10 million people larger than most
States. This may be obvious to you but we are not all #americans anymore
There s plenty of room to roam and make a home. #unintendedconsequences of the clear #depopulation policies will be to spread knowledge workers and others into #rural areas and small pop states.
New Fast-Spreading #Wildfire in #LosAngelesCounty Prompts Evacuations
Story by Ben Fritz, Victoria Albert, Alexa Corse, January 22, 2025
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — "A fast-spreading wildfire sparked in northern Los Angeles County, prompting renewed fears of death and destruction in a region already decimated by historic wildfires this month.
"The #Hughes fire, which broke out north of #SantaClarita in the Castaic, Calif., area earlier Wednesday, has scorched more than 9,400 acres and is 0% contained, officials said. Evacuation orders have been issued for some 31,000 people, and an additional 23,000 were told to prepare to evacuate.
"No lives have been lost or structures reported damaged in the blaze, which is being fought by some 4,000 firefighters.
"Castaic is a remote, unincorporated part of northern Los Angeles County with a lake that draws many visitors in the summer. It has a population of about 19,000, but is close to the city of #SantaClarita, home to about 224,000 people and the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park.
"At a press conference Wednesday evening, local officials speaking in front of large plumes of gray smoke said winds weren’t as strong as during the infernos two weeks ago, allowing them to drop tens of thousands of gallons of retardant from the sky. In addition, firefighters from across the U.S. and overseas have surged to L.A. this month and were able to deploy quickly.
“The situation remains dynamic and the fire remains a difficult one to contain, although we are getting the upper hand,” said Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Maroni."
