Residents secure a van caught in a mudslide by tying the van to a tree in Silverado Canyon, Calif., Dec. 22, 2010.
NBC, msnbc.com and news services report:
LOS ANGELES — Areas just south of Los Angeles — including a tony beach town that saw "rivers coming through" and its main beach washed away — were hardest hit Wednesday by the fiercest of several storms that battered Southern California since Friday.
A state of emergency is declared in the Golden State amid fears that the heavy rains will trigger dangerous flooding and even mudslides. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.

With climate change driving extreme weather worldwide, I put together a couple charts showing trends in extreme weather, along with an amazing video of mudslide during extreme rain.
I also have some info on how insurance companies will shed risk to the property owner.
