An estimated 800 homes in the Los Angeles area remain evacuated under threat of mudslides as storms cause renewed transport chaos and power cuts.
Flash flood warnings have been put in place with hills saturated, Los Angeles County officials said.
Torrential rains and waves as high as 25ft (7.6m) have eroded beaches and flooded low-lying roads.
A run of four storms has been the worst in southern California since 2005, officials say, causing two deaths.
Authorities went door-to-door ahead of Thursday's storm urging residents to leave the area as a precaution.
The stability of hillsides north of Los Angeles remains a concern, as the ground was stripped bare of vegetation by wildfires last summer.
There were warning to those who refused to leave that landslides could be serious and rescuers would struggle to make much progress.
