Rockslide causes closure of Malibu canyon
A mud and rock slide in Malibu Wednesday triggered the shutdown of a portion of Malibu Canyon Road until further notice.
The closure came amid another day of wild weather for Southern California as more rain, snow and wind moved through the area, marking the culmination of nearly a week of storms that have drenched the region and led to flooded streets, mudslides and trees knocked down by high winds.
The storms have led to power outages and school closures in mountain communities. Homes in La Cañada Flintridge and Beverly Crest were damaged by mudflow and debris resulting in the evacuations of some residents.
