Flash floods are sweeping through areas burned by California wildfires


Flash floods carrying piles of debris are sweeping through rain-drenched parts of California that were affected by recent wildfires.
In Southern California, evacuation orders and flash flood warning are in effect in some communities affected by the Holy Fire, which burned more than 22,000 acres earlier this year.
Cal Fire of Riverside County issued mandatory evacuation orders as thunderstorms have increased the risk of mudslides and debris flows in some areas. The department urged people to keep checking its site for current warnings and orders as boundaries keep shifting.
