A powerful storm system in Southern California has caused flash flooding and mudslides in Los Angeles County, stranding some drivers and triggering a variety of severe weather warnings.

Flash floods and mudslides have been reported in the Lake Hughes area, with some drivers getting stuck in the mud.


Interstate 5 north of Santa Clarita Valley was also shut down as a result of the mud, according to the Valley Signal newspaper.

"Our biggest concern is people getting caught in mud and debris," LA County Fire Department Inspector David Dantic said. "We want people to know that overflows are not very safe."

So far, no injuries have been reported.
