"Victims of the Camp and Woolsey fires will see some relief but also face the threat that rainfall will bring down mud and rocks."
"As the deadly Camp and Woolsey fires blaze on either end of California, the state is expected to finally get some rain in the next couple of days ― bringing relief from the flames and unhealthy air pollution, but also a very real danger of mudslides in the burned areas.
The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for the Camp fire burn areas near Paradise, with rains expected to fall across Northern California from Wednesday through Friday. The Camp fire has become the state’s deadliest and most destructive wildfire ever: At least 79 people have died and more than 12,000 homes have burned since it began Nov. 8.
About 26,000 people have also been displaced, and hundreds are still missing. As of early Tuesday, the fire was 70 percent contained."
