Thousands Stranded, 1 Dead in California Mudslides
About 2,500 people were stranded after thunderstorms caused mountain mudslides in Southern California, while one person was found dead in a flooded creek Sunday, authorities said.
The mudslides swallowed cars, campers and vans.
One person was killed after swift-moving floods swept their car away, authorities said.
The stranded included 500 children and adults who had arrived at a Forest Falls, California, campground Sunday morning.
“Our concern is that they’re isolated at that campground and no longer have access out of the mountain,” San Bernardino County Fire spokesman Kyle Hauducoeur said.
