Storm prep: Evacuation orders issued for burn scar, mountain communities ahead of possible mudslides Thousands of people were being told to get out of their homes Thursday as the third storm of the week approached, bringing with it the threat of mudslides and debris flows in communities scarred by recent wildfires. As the system tracked toward the Coachella Valley, evacuations were ordered in the mountains west of the Morongo reservation, as well as in Oak Glen, northeast Yucaipa, and Mountain Home Village. There is also a Flash Flood Watch that covers all areas west of the Coachella Valley. The @NWSSanDiego has issued a #flashfloodwatch from 7pm Thursday to 4pm Friday for the #AppleFire & #ElDoradoFire burn scars. Please take steps to prepare your home & family. Limited quantities of unfilled sandbags are available at our fire stations.
