Evacuation orders and warnings have gone into effect for burn scar areas across Southern California as heavy rainfall threatens dangerous debris flows.

Southern California has been hit by heavy floods which have caused mudslides and prompted evacuation calls. It comes just over a month after the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles which saw thousands fleeing their homes.

For the second time this year, Southern Californians are evacuating their homes as heavy rain threatens new destruction in places still recovering from last month’s devastating wildfires.
