Landslide Area, Flooded Roadways Cleared In OC Canyon Communities

SILVERADO, CA — Public works crews took to the roadways of Orange County's foothill and canyon communities early Wednesday morning amid a steady downpour of rain to tackle flooding roads and landslides.

In Silverado, crews cleared a small mud and rock slide that stretched across one lane of a roadway early Wednesday morning. Engineers are currently assessing the stability of the slope that collapsed, OC Public Works said.

On Santiago Canyon Road, Orange County crews worked through the morning directing traffic as they cleared mud and water from the roadway to ensure travelers could get through.

Orange County residents were urged to drive the roadways carefully.
