Several communities in the San Bernardino Mountains were inundated with mud and debris flows as Tropical Storm Hilary dumped heavy rains on Southern California.
Dramatic mudflows were seen in Oak Glen and Forest Falls as the storm, which had been downgraded from a hurricane before it entered the region, soaked the area.
San Bernardino County issued a local emergency declaration in response to the storm. No injuries or were reported. Valley of the Falls Drive was among the mountain roads that were rendered impassable after being covered with mud and debris. Oak Glen resident Paul Forgues said, "It was a river down the road" from his home Sunday night, "with logs and boulders and everything."
