The strongest storm of the season is moving out of Southern California on Friday.
The heaviest rain slammed into the region Thursday night into early Friday morning, triggering flash floods and mudslides across Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, as well as the Inland Empire.
Friday will have scattered showers as the rain moves out of the area, leaving residents to clean up after the storm.
Evacuation warnings have been issued for burn scar areas in the Los Angeles area ahead of what's likely to be the biggest storm of the season.
The Los Angeles Fire Department announced that evacuation warnings will take effect at 7 a.m. Thursday through at least 2 p.m. Friday. LAFD has provided a map of the areas affected.
Rain caused an 18-foot-deep sinkhole to open in Ontario, covering an entire intersection on Holt Boulevard.
The city says Holt Boulevard is closed near Sultana.
Crews were on scene Thursday night assessing the damage, but there is no word yet on how long it will take to make repairs and reopen the street.
Strong winds -- including a possible tornado -- tore the roofs off several structures Thursday afternoon at a mobile home park in Oxnard, the National Weather Service said.
The damage occurred at the Ocean-Aire Mobile Home Estates near the intersection of Oxnard Boulevard and Pleasant Valley Road.
No injuries were reported.
At least a dozen structures were damaged, including awnings and carports.
Power was temporarily knocked out at the mobile home park before being restored.
A major storm system was making its way out of Southern California on Friday morning, but not before dumping several inches of rain in some areas.
Record rainfall was reported in downtown Los Angeles, with 2.8 inches breaking the record for the day of 2.71 inches set in 1954.
According to the National Weather Service, rainfall rates were recorded in some areas at levels as three-quarters of an inch to 1.2 inches per hour -- well above the rate that can typically trigger flooding or debris flows.
In the Hollywood Hills, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported a debris flow that parked 8 inches of mud on Mulholland Drive. No injuries were reported, but crews scrambled to ensure the safety of structures above and below the slide area.
The NWS has described the multi-day storm system as likely to be "the biggest precipitation producer so far this season.''
By the time the storm exits the area on Friday, roughly 1 to 3 inches of rain are expected in most coastal and valley areas, with 3 to 6 inches anticipated in the foothills and mountains.
On Friday at 6 a.m., the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department lifted evacuation warnings for the communities of Wrightwood and Mount Baldy.
The Sheriff's Department also lifted evacuation orders for some areas of the Highland neighborhood along the Line Fire burn scar.
In the Highland community, the evacuation order has been lifted for the neighborhood south of Greenspot Road between Church Street and Merris Street.
An evacuation order has also been lifted for the area of the Highland community "from Church Street east to the foothills north of Highland Avenue and Weaver Street east to the Iron Bridge north of Greenspot Road."
