LOS ANGELES - A mudslide caused by rain in the Palisades Fire zone blocked a stretch of Pacific Coast Highway Friday. CalTrans and public works crews were monitoring a hillside along PCH near Big Rock Drive after loosened soil carrying rocks and debris fell onto the road. A bulldozer was used to clear a path for traffic.

While visiting a shelter for wildfire survivors in Westwood, former Vice President Kamala Harris said Thursday an increasingly longer California fire season is requiring leaders think about how they can "do better" in handling the natural disasters.

Asked during her visit on Thursday if she was considering running for governor of California, Ms. Harris did not give a direct answer, but did not rule it out either.
