Crews are working to dig the Lake Hughes community out of trouble following Sunday's mudslide.
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif.An inch and a half of rain over one hour. That’s what it took for debris-packed mudslides in the Lake Hughes area to trap 25 vehicles with people in them.
No fatalities, but plenty of damage along Pine Canyon Road, where ranches and several animal sanctuaries were hit hard. The Shadowland Foundation’s wolves are OK, but the wall of mud came within a foot of their enclosures and the home of caretaker Collette Pondella. Fire officials confirm the debris is from the burn scar of the Lake Fire, which burned over 31,000 acres two years ago in August. There hasn’t been enough rain for a strong vegetation growth that would normally help hold back the mud.
