A rainstorm pummeled the Los Angeles and Malibu area on Thursday, December 6, causing mudslides and floods in the area burnt by the Woolsey Fire last month.<br /><br />Early this morning, downpours sent a deluge of mud onto Pacific Coast Highway, which was closed in both directions from Trancas Canyon Road to the Las Posas.<br /><br />This video, filmed near the highway, shows waves crashing against a dreary afternoon sky and a fast flowing river of floodwaters.<br /><br />According to local reports, flooding is more likely after fires, when burnt debris collects on hillsides and prevents the soil from absorbing the rainfall.<br /><br />Showers are likely through the night with sun forecast for later in the week.
