A new Pacific storm churned Monday toward Southern California, bringing the threat of more flash floods and mudslides in the mountains where torrents of mud killed 14 people and left two missing on Christmas Day.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning through Tuesday evening for the San Bernardino Mountains, the site of the tragedies. Up to 3 inches of rain was expected. No evacuations were ordered, but firefighters passed out sandbags and authorities warned residents to be prepared.
The mudslides last week were set off when torrential rain streamed down hillsides that had been burned bare by wildfires in the autumn.
