LOS ANGELES, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Mudslides destroyed at least two homes and badly damaged a number of others on Saturday in foothills surrounding Los Angeles as a fierce winter storm pounded Southern California.

Authorities said a wall of mud and debris at least several feet high rumbled down a hillside in the community of La Canada-Flintridge, crashing into homes and cars and leaving a path of destruction in its wake.

There were no reports of deaths or injuries but residents were being told to leave as another heavy downpour was expected by early Saturday afternoon.

This doesn't sound like much, but landslides and rain are big precursor to Earthquakes. Shifting of mass in such a sensitive place as California is not a good thing. could an earthquake be caused by this? Hopefully not, but things like this are a big cause. Rain and mudslides, not good.

Remember the location. Los Angeles. If you see an earthquke there, you can say I predicted it.
