A portion of Pacific Coast Highway from Malibu and Pacific Palisades remains closed Friday morning after a series of mudslides covered the road during Thursday’s powerful storm. Video showed bulldozer crews working overnight to clear mud and debris from the highway,

On Friday, the storied coastal road had dissolved into a river of mud and debris after a powerful rainstorm sent those burned hillsides careening toward the ocean, turning canyons into rivers of mud and rocks.

Heavy rains in Southern California have led to mudslides and the closure of the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu for safety reasons, with cleanup efforts underway.
