Cleanup efforts were underway Wednesday across Southern California following a rare October storm that brought significant rain to the region.
There had been concerns of mud flows in the burn scar areas of the January wildfires, but major flooding damage was avoided for the most part.
Some spots continued to see showers overnight, keeping roads slick and creating dangerous driving conditions.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning Tuesday morning for the Malibu area as a storm system intensifies.
The warning is in effect until noon around the Palisades Fire burn scar.
People in the area are urged to move to higher ground and away from the burn scar area.
Pepperdine University has shifted to remote learning at its Malibu and Calabasas campuses Tuesday due to a significant storm moving across Southern California.
"Pepperdine officials continue to monitor the situation and are in communication with local agency officials," the university said in a statement. "The Pepperdine community should expect normal University operations to resume on Wednesday and as scheduled, for the remainder of the week at all Southern California campuses. If conditions change impacting Pepperdine, further messaging will be issued."
Meanwhile, evacuation orders and warnings are in effect for people living within the Palisades Fire burn scar due to possible flooding and debris flows.
People living in some 115 vulnerable properties in the Pacific Palisades and Mandeville Canyon have been ordered to leave their homes due to the storm. Many others are covered by evacuation warnings.
State and local first responders have been deployed to help with whatever the storm brings.
A fall storm that is expected to dump a significant amount of rain Tuesday is drenching Southern California, and it will keep intensifying through the morning.
The most intense pockets of rain will move over the wider Los Angeles area between 6 and 9 a.m. Follow the latest forecast here.
The downpours are creating concerns in burn scar areas, but they're also creating dangerous driving conditions as water pools along roadways. Drivers are warned to exercise caution with hydroplaning possible.
Mandatory evacuation orders are being issued for some Los Angeles residents near the Palisades Fire burn scar ahead of storms moving into Southern California, local officials announced on Monday night.
Heavy rain is expected to pick up after midnight, and then reach its peak between 2 a.m. and noon on Tuesday. The region could also see thunderstorms, and then on-and-off showers throughout the afternoon on Tuesday.
City officials said they have identified 114 residences in the West Bureau area -- including the Pacific Palisades and Mandeville Canyon -- that will be placed under an evacuation order. Two additional residences were identified in the Valley Bureau.
The mandatory evacuation order for those residents begins at 10 p.m. Monday.
Los Angeles Police Department officers are going door-to-door in the identified evacuation areas in an effort to make contact with all residents. During a press conference that began shortly before 9 p.m., LAPD said half of the in-person door-knock notifications had been made.
"The officers are providing them a location, coordinating with the Red Cross. In West Bureau, that would be Stoner Park," LAPD Deputy Chief Emada Tingiride said. "We're hoping by 22 hundred hours this evening, all of our evacuations will be completed and our residents are able to evacuate safely."
"We're worried about burn scars with no vegetation to support the hillside and then anything below, as obviously, as the rain funnels down to the streets and the main sections, homes below those become the problem," Los Angeles Fire Department Deputy Chief William Peralta said.
During the press conference, LAFD officials stressed that the department will be patrolling all burn scar areas and elsewhere throughout the city.
Heavy equipment and teams are ready to be deployed in case of a mudslide, in addition to helicopters, pilots and extra dispatch for an increase in call load.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said strike teams, rescue teams, helicopters and more are stationed throughout the city out of an abundance of caution. There are 13,000 feet of K-rail -- or temporary concrete barriers -- in debris flow areas, and sandbags are available to residents at local fire stations.
"We will be prepared for the worst and hope for the best," Bass said.
The meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service in L.A. emphasized the importance of being overprepared.
"The cost of being underprepared is often far greater than the cost of being overprepared," said Dr. Ariel Cohen.
Cohen noted that most areas will only see rain and wind, but more severe weather, such as tornadoes, is possible.
"Most Angelenos will not experience anything more than moderate rains and gusty winds, however, the character of this particular weather system is such that a few localized spots will have the potential to experience damage coming from the stong winds, and even possibly, a couple of tornadoes, along with debris flows in the burn scar areas, and there cold be some flooding elsewhere across the region," Cohen said.
He stressed that officials can't be certain on exactly what the localized impacts will be until right before they occur at the earliest.
Angelenos are encouraged to plan ahead about what to do if the winds suddenly pick up or if you hear a severe weather warning. Cohen said residents should be indoors in a sturdy structure on the lowest floor with as many walls between you and the outside as possible. Residents should also stay away from windows.
Drivers are reminded to never travel through a flooded roadway.
Cohen also advised that Angelenos have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts, especially overnight while you are asleep.
