【Watch In the Morning of La Petite Mort Online】

Updated Jan. 9 4:40 p.m PT to reflect new death toll.

The Watch In the Morning of La Petite Mort Onlinerains have finally come to Southern California after months of bone dry weather and multiple wildfires, but they're not helping the previously parched state.

In fact, the deluge has created treacherous conditions in several regions, sparking evacuation orders in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles counties and leaving at least 13 people dead.

A combination of heavy rain and scarred vegetation after last fall's huge blazes have created mudslides in a number of places. Montecito was one of the worst hit regions, with many homes simply washed away.

The 101 freeway, which leads north from LA into Santa Barbara County, was closed north of Ventura — an area hit hard by last year's Thomas Fire. Some lanes on the infamous 405 near the Getty Center in LA were also closed due to a mud and rock slide. Cars in the region were seen caked up to their rims in sludge.
