Crews are working hard to clean up the damage that a strong storm left behind, from a massive sinkhole in Chatsworth to mudflows and flooding in Montecito.
Days before yet another storm that is predicted to reach the area this weekend, work is being done.
An enormous sinkhole in Chatsworth is being repaired by inspectors and public works staff from Los Angeles.
The two cars that were eaten by the hole near the 118 Freeway are now as wide as Iverson Avenue and nearly 40 feet deep.
After their Nissan and a pickup truck went into the sinkhole on Monday night, a woman and her daughter were rescued and sent to the hospital.
When the sinkhole opened out, neighbors who were curious to see it for themselves were shocked no one was killed.
Neighbor Lucas Cantor Santiago said, "I think infrastructure is always a problem in a city this size, especially when we start to have abnormal quantities of rain." "Except for the rare huge rainstorm, there are no weather-related events here, and the city just isn't prepared to handle them. It rarely occurs.
Along with Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Highway 23 between Fillmore and Moorpark was also reopened.
Officials from Caltrans provided this up-to-date list of the counties of Los Angeles and Ventura's closed roads.
Then, in Montecito, a city that has experienced significant storm damage before, creeks turned into roaring torrents that put scores of houses in danger.
On Wednesday, Montecito Creek was easier to control, and a significant cleanup project was in progress. The full extent of the destruction to homes and slopes is being evaluated by firefighters and public works officials.
