A “major” mudflow swept over a road and left debris in its wake near Rancho Santa Margarita in Orange County, California, overnight into Friday morning, February 14, as heavy rains fell across the region, officials said.The mud flowed down burn scars left behind by the Airport Fire, which broke out in September and burned at least 23,526 acres across Orange and Riverside counties before contained after 26 days.Footage from Orange County Public Works shows water raging down Trabuco Creek as tree trunks and branches pile up on Trabuco Canyon Road. The road would remain closed as crews “clear debris, inspect the bridge and reposition K-rail barriers,” they said.Ahead of the storm, evacuations were ordered in three areas affected by the burn scars - Trabuco Canyon, Bell Canyon, and Hot Springs Canyon - and crews removed several of the concrete “K-rail barriers” on the side of Trabuco Canyon Road to allow the mud to flow across it, and to avoid flooding in the surrounding area.Mudflows were reported in several other areas, including Topanga Canyon, the San Bernardino Mountains, where the Line Fire left a burn scar, and on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) between Malibu and Pacific Palisades, where the Palisades Fire broke out in January.Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said a firefighter driving on PCH escaped with minor injuries after their vehicle was “swept off” the road by a mud flow and “into the ocean.” Credit: OC Public Works via Storyful
