Flash floods in California have turned deadly after a two-year-old boy drowned when the truck he was in was swept away. The sudden, heavy rain east of Los Angeles also caused huge mudslides that destroyed everything in their path.

San Bernardino

Heavy rainfall in areas east of Los Angeles has led to flash floods and mudslides across San Bernardino County. The disaster has caused severe damage to homes, with residents describing being trapped and unable to save their belongings as mud flowed through their properties. Tragically, the mudslides have claimed the life of a toddler. Many families are left with little to salvage, as the torrents washed away homes and cherished mementos. Emergency services and locals continue to assess the damage and recover what they can from the aftermath.

Devastating Los Angeles mudslides claim toddler's life

There is no mercy when mother nature unleashes. Cascading from the hills above Oak Glen, this torrent of mud stopped for no one. Watch out! And any attempt to save what was in its path, pointless. The powerful ripples are a result of relentless rain in areas east of LA. It is raining like a son of a gun. Causing flash floods and mudslides across the San Bernardino county. Mud started coming through the window as I was trying to get my dog out of the crate. Broke the door and then it was just game over from there. Ian Johnson was trapped when mud flowed through his home. There was nothing I could do. I got swept and pinned against the door with a log in the couch and I was stuck against the door screaming for my friend to come help me but he was screaming because he was stuck on the side of the house getting swept away. It caused severe damage. I'm probably most thankful because my kids weren't here. Because had my kids were here I think it would be a totally different story. I'm thankful that my husband made it out and I'm not planning funerals. Coming back today, what do you think of all this? It's hard. I worked hard for all this and it's gone. Just down the road at the Ritchies, their basement was wiped out. You hear the freight train sound, you see the water, you know it's raining hard and before long everything is coming down the mountain around you. Washing away a lifetime of mementos in the mud. There are things like pictures that you want to save and that's what we're trying to do. A hard task when there's very little left to salvage. Leighton Haeckel, 10 News.
