Officials Urge Evacuated Residents To Leave Homes

*************************************EXCERPT******************************

Jan 20, 2010 7:47 pm US/Pacific

LOS ANGELES (CBS) A third powerful Pacific storm pounded California with heavy rain and snow Wednesday, prompting mandatory evacuation orders for 23 additional homes in La Canada Flintridge.

A flash flood warning for Los Angeles County expired at 6:30 p.m. However, mud and debris flows are still possible as they can occur even after the heaviest rain has ended.

Additional heavy rain is possible later tonight through Thursday night and the flash flood watch remains in effect for the burn areas.

County officials said the latest evacuation orders included homes on Ridge Cliff Lane, De Valle Road and Haskell Street.

By early Wednesday, authorities had issued mandatory evacuation orders for residents of 489 homes in La Canada Flintridge, La Crescenta and Acton, just ahead of the storm's expected midday arrival, along with nearly 200 homes in parts of Glendale.

About 262 homes within the communities of Alpine Way, Zachau Canyon, Haines Canyon, Riverwood and Blanchard Canyon in the Southern Tujunga area were also ordered to leave their homes.
