LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- The all-clear was given Wednesday for residents evacuated from more than 500 homes in mudslide-prone areas of Los Angeles County, officials said.
Mandatory evacuation orders were lifted after the most recent in a series of rainstorms to hit Southern California cleared, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Sheriff's officials notified residents in some areas of La Crescenta, La Canada, Acton, Soledad Canyon and Aliso Canyon that they needed to leave as a precaution in advance of rain forecast Tuesday and Wednesday, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles, reported.
The new round of soggy weather comes after weekend downpours triggered mudslides that damaged more than 40 homes in the La Canada Flintridge area, officials said.
Bill Hoffer, a spokesman for the National Weather Service in Oxnard, Calif., told the Times that the chance of rain had been reduced to 20 percent but warned that cold temperatures could produce black ice on the roads.
The newspaper said that 0.51 inches of rain had fallen in Long Beach and 0.58 inches in Burbank by late Tuesday.
