"BEN LOMOND, Calif. - A deadly El Nino storm that brought five straight
days of rain and high winds to the Pacific Coast eased Tuesday, but more
bad weather was on the way and the danger of mudslides was high.

At its height, the storm left nearly 2 million Californians without power.

At least 13 deaths were blamed on the wild weather
In Southern California, rain caused mudslides along sections of the San
Gabriel Mountains laid bare by a brush fire in September. Sludge blocked
roads in some foothill towns, including La Verne and San Dimas.

The U.S. Forest Service also warned that avalanche danger remained high
above 6,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada, a playground for thousands of
California skiers and where more than 9 feet of snow had fallen at some
resorts.

Statewide, almost 100,000 customers remained without power Tuesday morning.

Rainfall records were toppled across California on Monday."
