A powerful storm is bringing heavy rainfall to Southern California this weekend<\/a>, and it is already starting to cause some damage and minor flooding.<\/p>\n

Debris flows and small rock slides were seen in the Malibu and Pacific Palisades areas Saturday morning. Caltrans, shortly before 12:30 p.m., issued an advisory stating that crews along Topanga Canyon Road had noted \u201cseveral minor debris flows as well as locations where small-to-medium-sized rocks had fallen onto the highway from slopes throughout the work zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The road, which was already closed, will remain shut down until the storm is over. In the meantime, those living in coastal L.A. County are urged to \u201cseek higher ground.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Some flooding was seen near the Palisades Fire burn scar and construction areas. Evacuation warnings have been issued for virtually all local burn scar areas, including the Canyon, Bethany, Eaton, Palisades, Hurst, Kenneth, Sunset, Lidia, Franklin, Bridge, Agua, Owen, Land and Fish burn scar zones.<\/p>\n

Evacuation orders remain in place for select high-risk properties within those burn areas through early Sunday.<\/p>\n
