Topanga Canyon buried in mud after intense rainstorm

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – Topanga Canyon can’t get a break.

Thursday’s intense rain triggered several mudslides that buried the heavily traveled route between the San Fernando Valley and the Pacific Coast Highway.

Sky5 footage from early Friday morning showed several feet of mud covering Topanga Canyon Boulevard, with signs and utility poles partially buried.

Caltrans workers were just beginning to assess the extent of the damage.

The lower section of Topanga Canyon Boulevard had already been closed for over a month due to the Palisades Fire and was also closed for three months in 2024 due to a massive rockslide.

Over the past two days, the area received more than two inches of rain from the same storm that caused mudslides elsewhere in the Los Angeles area, including the wildfire burn scars.

PCH from Santa Monica to Malibu, already closed due to the Palisades fire, also saw debris flows bury the roadway. In a terrifying incident Thursday evening, a Los Angeles Fire Department worker narrowly escaped as his SUV was swept into the ocean by rushing debris along PCH.
