Heavy rains caused flooding and mudslides in Los Angeles late Thursday and early Friday, as authorities ordered evacuations.

A Los Angeles Fire Department member was able to escape a close call Thursday after his vehicle was swept into the ocean by fast-moving mud along Pacific Coast Highway.

Los Angeles is dealing with another disaster as a powerful storm causes chaos, including a mudslide that pushed a car into the ocean, just weeks after destructive wildfires.
