Residents in the Inland Empire experienced significant rainfall and flooding, with another wave approaching.
Higher up in Oak Glen, Birch Creek was clogged with mud and debris on Saturday.
A local resident shared with Eyewitness News that the flooding overwhelmed the 6-foot drain beneath Potato Canyon Road, with some mud spilling onto the road.
Pat Mazzulli mentioned that since the 2020 El Dorado fire, they have faced six significant mudslides, and Saturday’s instance was manageable.
“We listen for the slides as they occur. We’ve adapted to it,” he stated. “This is the second one in just a couple of months, and we just finished clearing everything from the last one. Now, we’re starting all over again.”
