Historic rainstorm threatens Academy Awards(Oscars) washout Saturday March 01,2014

A storm that brought some of the highest rainfall totals to the Los Angeles area in years has continued to hammer much of California through Saturday afternoon. 

Up to eight inches poured down in some mountain ranges and the tumultuous pressure systems led to a tornado warning early Saturday morning. 


In Azusa and neighboring foothill communities about 25 miles east of Los Angeles that sit beneath nearly 2,000 acres of steep mountain slopes that just weeks ago were menaced by a wildfire, about 1,200 homes were under evacuation orders Friday over mudflow fears but were so-far spared


Muddy water swept down the hillside earlier in the day, spreading about two feet of ooze above one backyard, although fencing walls and an orchard of about 5,000 avocado trees behind the development stopped most serious debris
 An Oscar statue is covered with plastic as preparations for the 86th Academy Awards continues in the rain outside the Dolby Theatre on Saturday
Workers swept the carpet on Friday to get rid of the inches of water that has accumulated from the storm
The elaborate dresses of Hollywood stars will be sheltered from the rain by a clear plastic roof over the red carpet
