Wide of snow-covered homes with mountain in background\u003cbr/\u003eMany California residents who endured flooding, mudslides and evacuations during a week downpour face a massive clear-up as Christmas festivities approach.\u003cbr/\u003eThe inland region of Southern California, east of Los Angeles, was among the hardest-hit areas.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Highland, California, people were chased from their homes by tides of mud and water, leaving behind dwellings strung with holiday lights. \u003cbr/\u003eThey returned on Thursday to find their neighbourhood inundated with mud. \u003cbr/\u003eFive homes were destroyed and nearly 70 others damaged. Cars were half-buried in the slurry, some partly up-ended.\u003cbr/\u003eLeslie Constante burst into tears when she approached her parents' house and saw a red 'no entry' notice taped on the garage by local authority officials who deemed it unsafe. \u003cbr/\u003eAs residents surveyed their homes, work crews were busy trying to re-open more than a dozen canyon and mountain roads that were closed by slides and floods.\u003cbr/\u003ePart of the task was digging out vehicles stuck in the mud, half-buried, and Bill Peters, of California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said hundreds of metric tons had to be dug out, carried away and dumped.\u003cbr/\u003eIbeth Garcia and her family returned on Thursday to a home surrounded by mud 4 feet (1.2 metres) deep to retrieve Christmas presents and clothes left behind when they fled a dirty torrent.\u003cbr/\u003eThey found a light coating of mud inside the house and considered themselves lucky, since some of their neighbours' homes were uninhabitable.\u003cbr/\u003eMany linked the damage with summer wild-fires, which denuded hillsides and left them vulnerable to erosion and mudslides after heavy rainfall. \u003cbr/\u003eOfficials have warned that the threat of mudslides could continue for weeks in areas affected by wildfires.\u003cbr/\u003eState Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in six counties.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Nevada, meanwhile, police went door-to-door on Thursday urging residents to evacuate two mountain hamlets near Las Vegas after three overnight snow slides stirred fears of a disastrous avalanche. \u003cbr/\u003eNo injuries or structural damage were reported on Mount Charleston after the small to moderate avalanches struck about 40 miles (64 kilometres) northwest of Las Vegas.\u003cbr/\u003eHomeowner Jeff Anderson, who was just down the mountain from a police checkpoint, said he did not intend to evacuate and planned to stay in his home for the holiday season with his son and grandson.\u003cbr/\u003eAnderson said he had a party planned for New Year's Eve and was not cancelling yet.\u003cbr/\u003eMore than 300 customers remained without power on the mountain after heavy snow knocked down power lines three days ago.\u003cbr/\u003eRain and snow throughout the week downed trees, limbs and power poles, making it difficult for crews to restore electricity. \u003cbr/\u003eThe homes might not have power until Christmas, said a spokesman for local provider NV Energy.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
