Pounding Winter Rainstorm Triggers Mudslides in Santa Clarita

Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County, CA: Key News Network captured multiple mudslides in different areas of the city of Santa Clarita around 9:20 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9, during a relentless winter storm that wreaked havoc with flash flood warnings in effect for most of the Southland.

A mudslide occurred off the 14 Freeway at The Old Road off-ramp with mud blocking the ramp about 15 feet into the roadway and around three feet high.

Video footage shows mud and debris into the roadway on San Fernando Road and Sierra Highway with the wash filling quickly.

Video footage taken on the Old Road and Weldon Canyon Road shows crews blocking both sides of the roadway while they cleared the mud covering one side of the road. The mud had pushed the white barriers a few feet out to the street.
