California Mudslides

California can't seem to catch a break when it comes to weather.  It seems as though they're either in drought conditions with wildfires or experiencing flash flooding and mudslides.  The latter was the case yesterday with some parts of Southern California receiving 4-6 inches of rainfall in a short period of time, sending mudslides cascading into valleys.  This stranded numerous motorists and left thousands without power yesterday evening.  Unfortunately they are expected to see more showers and thunderstorms today, with the Antelope Valley being at the biggest risk for more flash flooding.  These thunderstorms have been set off by an upper-level low pressure system that has been moving around the Southwest for the past couple of weeks, and looks to cause problems for Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Texas this weekend.
