Fire-ravaged Los Angeles braces for landslides as atmospheric river brings heavy rain to California

Southern California is preparing for its most significant storm in over a year, raising fears of life-threatening debris flows in areas affected by recent wildfires, according to meteorologist Ariel Cohen from the National Weather Service in Los Angeles.
Evacuation warnings have been issued for areas near the Lake Fire burn scar in Santa Barbara County, as stated by the Sheriff’s office.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced that over 7,500 feet of concrete barriers and more than 6,500 sandbags have been deployed in anticipation of debris flows.
The storm is expected to bring 1 to 3 inches of rain in the Los Angeles basin, with totals approaching 6 inches in the mountains, according to the Weather Prediction Center.
