LOS ANGELES — Forecasters are predicting drier weather ahead after Tropical Storm Kay pounded parts of Southern California on Monday, with intense thunderstorms leading to heavy rainfall, flash floods and mudslides in several Inland Empire communities near recent burn areas.
Evacuation orders remained in place Tuesday morning for some residents in Oak Glen and Forest Falls in San Bernardino County because of threats from mudslides and debris, affecting about 50 homes, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said. An evacuation center was set up at Redlands East Valley High School in Redlands.
Oak Glen and Forest Falls are communities near the El Dorado and Apple burn scars.
