Death toll in California mudslides rises to 20

The death toll from the fatal Southern California mudslides has risen to 20, and four people are still missing Sunday.

Authorities discovered body but didn’t identify the victim as rescue crews continue their search for the missing after the mudslides devastated the popular enclave of Montecito on Tuesday.

Workers were removing debris and boulders with jackhammers and chainsaws to clear the areas after flash floods ran through the mountain slopes that were burned by the wildfires in December.

They have also tried to clear out debris basins and creek canals before another rainstorm occurs, officials said.

The mudslides have destroyed at least 65 homes and damaged over 450, according to officials.
