GLENDORA, Calif. (AP) — Scattered storms triggered mudslides in Los Angeles-area foothills scorched bare by a wildfire and dumped about an inch of much-needed rain in the San Francisco Bay Area.
A vehicle was half-submerged by a 4-foot-high debris flow that filled a driveway and hit a home before dawn Friday in the LA suburb of Glendora. Los Angeles County Fire Department crews used shovels and wheelbarrows to clear the muck before heavy equipment was brought in.
In and around San Francisco, about an inch of rain fell Thursday, soaking streets and highways and creating travel problems for some.
Forecasters said mostly cloudy skies could give way to more rain later Friday. And another small storm is expected Saturday.
Despite the downpours, state authorities have said it will take more than one rainy season to bring the state's precipitation levels to normal.
