MUD-SLIDES KILL AT LEAST 13 IN CALIFORNIA

At least 13 people have died after mud-slides in Southern California which police say left areas looking like a 'World War One battlefield'.

And in Romero Canyon to the east of Santa Barbara around 300 people are thought to be trapped.

Officials fear the death toll will rise with a number of people unaccounted for.

Many of the affected areas were scorched by wildfires last month.

These people live in Burbank.
