Brady Fire and Storm Threaten Evacuations in West

Southern California is bracing for the strongest storm this winter, with potential evacuation warnings for areas affected by the Mountain Fire due to expected heavy rainfall. Authorities are particularly concerned about flash floods and debris flows in burn areas, urging residents to stay alert and prepared to evacuate. Meanwhile, in Arizona, the Brady Fire has forced evacuations for residents near Prescott, with the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office issuing 'GO' orders. The fire, burning in the old Goodwin Fire scar, has prompted road closures and visible smoke from surrounding areas. Evacuation shelters have been established, and residents are urged to evacuate immediately if in the affected zones. Local officials are working to contain the blaze and provide assistance to evacuees.
