Another powerful storm system that could present Southern California with its wettest Christmas in years rolled into the region on Thursday, potentially causing more flooding and mudslides a day after heavy rain and gusty winds were blamed for at least two deaths. Forecasters warned the additional rain could increase the risk of debris flows in waterlogged areas scorched by wildfires in January, the AP reports. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department in Southern California issued an evacuation warning for the mountain town of Wrightwood due to a risk of mudslides.
