Rain Could Bring Mudslides and New Challenges In Butte County

Rain could not only hamper the search for victims from the Camp Fire, but there is also concern that it could create risk to the searchers. Mudslides are a possibility in some neighborhoods in Paradise. Also, residents that haven't been allowed back to their homes may not get the chance to search for belongings before they get washed away.
