"SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP)--Rescue crews slogged past fallen trees and
boulders early Friday in a search for at least 10 people missing at a youth
camp after a mudslide triggered by heavy rain swept through forested
foothills recently scorched by wildfire. More than a dozen others were
rescued.

The storm dumped more than 3 1/2 inches of rain on areas heavily scarred by
wildfires this fall, flooding streets in San Bernardino and elsewhere,
cutting power and causing mudslides. The blazes in October and November,
the most severe in state history, burned off vegetation that normally would
help shore up the steep terrain, leaving the ground prone to mudslides.

Elsewhere in the county, a mudslide triggered by the heavy rain damaged and
toppled trailers at a campground in Devore. Sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy
Beavers said 30 to 50 people suffered minor injuries. Several people were
unaccounted for, but authorities said they were not believed to be in
danger. In Lytle Creek Canyon, a 4-foot-high mud flow crossed a road,
trapping a car. The driver wasn't hurt."
