LA CRESCENTA — Foothill residents raced to fill sandbags and construct mud deflectors Tuesday evening as rain poured steadily against hillsides blackened by the Station fire.
Residents braced themselves for the rainfall, which geologists advised could affect burn areas and create devastating debris flows.
The city activated its Emergency Operations Center on Tuesday amid National Weather Service warnings of moderate to severe weather conditions for Glendale, La Crescenta and La Cañada Flintridge beginning Tuesday and lasting until Thursday.
