LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rain is drenching Southern California as a blustery storm charged down the state, triggering river rescue efforts and raising the threat of mudslides in areas scarred by wildfires. Los Angeles firefighters say three vehicles were swept down the Los Angeles River early Tuesday but no victims have been found and it’s not known how the vehicles ended up in the water. Much-needed snow continues to fall in the Sierra Nevada, which is a major source of California’s water supply, but there are also avalanche warnings for some parts of the mountain range. The National Weather Service reported remarkable rainfall in several parts of the state, including 11 inches at Mount Tamalpais.
