LOS ANGELES — Following a wave of punishing rains that forced evacuations on the Central Coast and flooded parts of Los Angeles County, Southern California was facing another round of storms Tuesday, with much of the region still under flood, high wind and high surf advisories.
Major highways and several other roads remained closed because of flooding, rockslides and mudslides, and motorists were advised to remain vigilant.
At least 16 people have died in the back-to-back storms that have hit California.
