The rain's not over -- a new storm is brewing for Southern California next week

Downtown Los Angeles has gotten 12.56 inches of rain during the month of February, making it the fourth wettest February since the weather service started taking records in 1877. With more than a week left to go, this February was already the wettest month in 26 years and is tied for the 7th wettest month ever.

It's rained 17.79 inches in downtown L.A. since the water year began on Oct. 1, which is about 8 inches higher than the average rainfall by this time of the water year and 3.5 inches more than the annual average.

This latest storm follows the monster storm earlier this month that dropped historic rainfall on the region, destroyed neighborhoods, triggered debris flows and mudslides and killed several people across the state.

Because the ground was waterlogged from the previous storm, there were concerns that some rainfall, no matter how little, could trigger more landslides and debris flows in susceptible areas.

"The concern was because of how much rain fell, the ground was close to saturated and couldn't absorb much water," Kittell said.

Rock and mudslides were reported on canyon roads through the Santa Monica Mountains, according to Kittell. In the Rancho Palos Verdes area, city leaders have asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency. If granted, Newsom would then be able to request federal disaster aid from the White House, and projects to stabilize the affected area would face fewer regulatory hurdles.

The storms have damaged structures along the peninsula, including the Wayfarers Chapel, as a slow-moving landslide complex continues to accelerate.

"I think if the Governor came here and saw the buckling streets, the homes sinking and cracking apart, and the historic Wayfarers Chapel on the verge of collapsing, he would understand the urgency of this request," Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said in a statement. "This is a crisis that is getting worse by the day, and I urge Governor Newsom to visit us and see it with his own eyes."
