Hundreds of homeowners in fire-ravaged areas have been ordered to evacuate across California as a powerful storm battered the region.
The storm, the third to hit the region since Monday, was expected to dump up to 10 inches of rain in some areas by Thursday, raising fears of landslides in hilly regions denuded of vegetation by last year's wildfires.
Authorities issued evacuation orders to around 750 homes in the Los Angeles area deemed to be threatened by landslides.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck urged homeowners threatened by landslides to act as soon as they were ordered to evacuate.
Also on Wednesday, a tornado struck near a town in east Texas, causing damage, reportedly injuring several people and trapping others in their homes.
