Several roadways across Southern California were closed to traffic Tuesday as the region was inundated with its first major rainstorm of the year.

Those residents living in areas the recently burned in last year’s devastating wildfires were urged to use special caution amid the extreme conditions. The mudslides and flooding are expected to continue and have forced mandatory evacuations in Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

At least six homes in the Montecito area were “wiped away” in flowing mud, and at least five people in were found dead in Santa Barbara County amid heavy flooding, county officials said Tuesday morning. Another person died in a rollover crash on the 5 Freeway near Los Feliz in an incident that is being linked to weather conditions, according to the Los Angeles Times.

In Burbank, at least two vehicles were swept away in fast-flowing floodwater, video shared by police showed.

Residents in Ojai, Matilija Canyon, El Capitan Canyon and other Thomas Fire burn areas can get a view of affected areas in evacuated areas in an interactive map.

On Tuesday, new mandatory evacuations were ordered for Country Club Drive in Burbank, while hundreds of Los Angeles County residents who had been evacuated from areas burned by the Creek Fire were being repopulated, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department said.

However, the homes that washed away in Montecito were only under voluntary evacuation orders, and all residents near burn areas are urged to remain aware of current weather conditions.
