 The Fox News post from December 26, 2025, shares dramatic video footage from the San Bernardino County Fire Department showing severe flash flooding and mudflows in Wrightwood, California. Homes and vehicles are partially buried under thick mud and debris following heavy rains on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

This event was triggered by an intense atmospheric river storm that dumped record rainfall across Southern California, exacerbating risks in areas scarred by the 2024 Bridge Fire (a major wildfire that left slopes barren and prone to debris flows). Wrightwood, a small mountain community in the San Gabriel Mountains (about 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles), was hit hardest: roads like Highway 2 and parts of State Route 138 were washed out or closed, prompting evacuation warnings, shelter-in-place orders, and dozens of rescues (including from submerged cars and rooftops). No fatalities were reported in Wrightwood, though the storm contributed to at least three deaths statewide from weather-related incidents. Crews conducted door-to-door checks, and power outages affected residents on Christmas. Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in several counties, including San Bernardino. Replies to the post include prayers and concern for affected residents, alongside criticism of Governor Newsom for alleged poor forest management and wildfire prevention, linking the mudslides to unmitigated burn scars. Here are some photos capturing the damage in Wrightwood: As of December 26, rain was easing but flood risks lingered, with more showers possible into the weekend.
