Strong winds were also reported, including 80 miles-per-hour gusts in the mountain areas near San Gabriel and San Luis Obispo. Authorities warned about possible downed power lines and damage to trees and roofs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bzn bzn-sized bzn-intext\">\n<ins data-revive-zoneid=\"79\" data-revive-block=\"1\" data-revive-id=\"36eb7c2bd3daa932a43cc2a8ffbed3a9\"><\/ins> <\/div>\n<p>Residents living near areas burned by the Palisades, Sunset and Hurst blazes were told to leave their homes by early Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Emergency officials warned residents to stay off the roads. Debris from a mudslide near Malibu swept one motorist\u2019s vehicle off the road and into the ocean Thursday evening, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott.<\/p>\n<p>Flood warnings and watches were canceled as the storm system started tapering off late Thursday, but forecasters warned that flooding and mudslides could continue well after the rain ends. The deluge was fueled by an atmospheric river, a plume of moisture from the Pacific that can contain as much water as flows through the mouth of the Mississippi River. While these systems can be destructive, they can also bring much-needed rain and snow to parched areas.<\/p>\n<p>The storm will likely bring Southern California its heaviest winter rain. With vegetation burned away, the areas around the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires are particularly vulnerable to mudslides. The January blazes killed at least 29 people and destroyed more than 16,000 structures.<\/p>\n<p><em>Top photo: Workers with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers remove debris from Loma Alta Elementary School after it was destroyed by the Eaton Fire in Altadena, California.
