Record-breaking rainfall has led to devastating mudslides and widespread damage in Los Angeles and other areas of Southern California. The torrential downpours, which have lasted for over 48 hours, have left residents shaken and caused an estimated $11 billion in damages.
In a dramatic video footage, firefighters in Los Angeles can be seen rescuing a man who had jumped into dangerous waters in an attempt to save his dog. This incident highlights the desperate situations that many residents find themselves in as catastrophic flooding wreaks havoc in some areas. Another video captured the shocking moment when vehicles were nearly swallowed up by a mudslide in a Beverly Hills neighborhood. Similar scenes have been witnessed in different parts of Southern California, including Ventura County where a mudslide on Service Rd 33 caused the closure of both directions of the road.
