Mudslides and flooding unleashed by heavy rains in Southern California prompted evacuation and shelter in place orders for thousands of people. The aftermath was being felt across the state. Rain that fell in a mountainous area east of Los Angeles were the remnants of a tropical storm and shot boulders and other debris across roads damaging structures including a commercial building where the mud was so high it collapsed the roof.

Areas heavily impacted and evacuated in San Bernardino County include Forest Falls and the City of Yucaipa which includes a portion of the San Bernardino National Forest some 70 miles east of Los Angeles.

After the Yucaipa Police Department issued an evacuation order for the city, video captured by Roger Seheult shows a fast wall of mud quickly cover the road in front of him. The mudflow is seen pouring past the Oak Glen Steak House, causing a man standing closer by to run as it continued to come. The natural disaster closed the business's doors indefinitely "due to unfortunate and catastrophic circumstances," it posted on its Facebook page.
