California girded Sunday for a “potentially historic” storm that put much of the state on high alert, with officials expecting life-threatening damage and issuing evacuation orders or warnings in parts of Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Monterey counties.
The National Weather Service has warned of “numerous damaging landslides” in the cities of Malibu and Beverly Hills as a powerful storm drenches California.
Landslides could also hit from the Santa Monica Mountains to the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park, stretching to the adjacent foothills in the valleys.
