Severe Rain Storms Continue To Threaten The Los Angeles Area

WRIGHTWOOD, CA - JANUARY 23: Fresh-fallen snow blankets the desert foothills and forested mountains on the north side of the San Gabriel Mountains on January 23, 2010 northwest of Wrightwood, California. Thousands of people were evacuated this week in the Los Angeles-area foothill cities on fears of mudslides and debris flows from mountains where wildfires swept through in 2008 and 2009. The threat was highest along the south side of the San Gabriel Mountains, scorched in the 250-plus square mile Station fire last year. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
