LINE DESK: LOS ANGELES — At least 13 people have been killed in Southern California mudslides and that number is likely to increase as rescue workers comb through the debris, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told a news conference on Tuesday.
The death toll was even greater than a major California mudslide on Jan. 10, 2005, which killed 10 people as a hillside gave way in the town of La Conchita, less than 20 miles south of the latest disaster.
