The recent storm brought some much needed moisture to Southern California without the dangerous mudslides some feared. But did it help reduce the fire danger?

Mudflows prompted the closures of at least some roads, including in Topanga Canyon and on parts of the Pacific Coast Highway.

SACRAMENTO, California — California Attorney General Rob Bonta assailed the Trump administration’s edict to halt federal funding as imprecise and frustratingly vague on Tuesday. But among the dozens of programs that could be cut, the state’s top law enforcement official pointed to one with certainty: money to help fire-scorched Los Angeles rebuild.
