After a short reprieve, Saturday began soggy in Southern California. A second storm is set to hit in the middle of next week.
Gonsalo Garcia, right, pumps accumulated rainwater to prevent further erosion on a sliding hillside in Canyon Country on March 2.
Most of the rain fell overnight, but residents will continue to see showers on and off throughout the day, with things starting to improve in the evening, said Todd Hall, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.Another weak weather system is expected to move through on Sunday morning, which could bring an additional chance of showers, although only about a quarter of an inch or less of rain is predicted for most areas.
In one Canyon Country neighborhood, work crews covered a hillside with plastic tarps and sandbags to help prevent a mudslide. A storm last month caused a hillside to collapse and led to some homes being yellow tagged. The brick wall behind Lopez’s home is cracked but isn’t “actually damaged enough for us to leave yet.” The wall cracked Feb. 22 after a storm moved through the area and the crack was slowly getting bigger, Lopez said.If it does, the family and their seven pets — including three dogs and four cats — will have to evacuate.
