One of the wettest storms in Southern California history unleashed nearly 400 mudslides in the Los Angeles area after dumping more than half the amount of rainfall the city typically gets in a season in just two days, and officials warned on February 6 the threat was not over yet.
Mud and debris are seen in the backyard of the home of Baldwin Hills resident Dion Peronneau.
Peronneau said she was awoken by the sound of cracking at about 4am on Monday morning (local time) as the mudflow forced its way into her home.

So far officials have attributed three deaths to the storm that first hit Northern California. Crews were rescuing people from swift-moving water in various parts of Southern California on Monday.
Virtually all of Southern California was under flash flood advisories and watches, including the Los Angeles area, where up to 25cms of rain had fallen and more was expected, according to the US National Weather Service.
Among those rescued were two homeless people who spent the night on a small island in the Santa Ana River in San Bernardino, about 90km east of Los Angeles. A dog and two cats were also saved.
Near the Hollywood Hills, floodwaters carried mud, rocks and household objects downhill through Studio City, damaging at least two homes, city officials said. Sixteen people were evacuated.
"It looks like a river that's been here for years," said Keki Mingus, whose neighbors' homes were damaged. "I've never seen anything like it."
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass urged residents to avoid driving, warning of fallen trees and electrical lines on flooded roadways.
Flooding is seen here outside the Hammer Museum in the Westwood neighbourhood of the city.

The storms kept tracking east across the state, reaching parts of northeast Florida.
The winds toppled trees and damaged parts of of roofs off some homes and businesses on Florida's Gulf Coast near Tampa.
