From the Los Angeles Times:
As hundreds of workers prepared to deploy Sunday to empty catch basins once again filled with mud and debris, all evacuation orders were lifted for residents of Southern California’s foothills.
L.A. County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said the evacuation orders had been lifted, including for Paradise Valley in La Cañada Flintridge.
Catch basins in the foothills had only recently been emptied after the weeklong storm that hit Southern California last month when Saturday morning’s torrent of rain filled them again. Bob Spencer, L.A. County Department of Public Works spokesman, said about 1,000 of the department’s employees were expected to be deployed Sunday across the county and would use bulldozers, plows, dump trucks and cranes to sweep neighborhood streets and attempt to clear out inlets and debris basins.
From the Los Angeles Times:
Critical debris basins along the San Gabriel Mountains are near capacity or overflowing as another band of rain and thunderstorms bears down on the charred foothills this afternoon, prompting officials to order more evacuations as they brace for the possibility of more damaging mudslides.
Evacuation orders are in place for about 500 homes in parts of La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta and Acton. At least 41 houses have been damaged or destroyed in a hillside neighborhood in La Cañada Flintridge. The city of Sierra Madre, where saturated foothills are threatening to break loose, has also issued evacuation orders.
