Malibu, the town this property stands in, in 7 storm reports between 1996 and 2025: 2 wildfire, 2 flash flood, 1 rip current, 1 debris flow.
The reports record 1 death and 17 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Gusty north winds generated dangerous rip currents off the coast of Malibu. The rip currents capsized a kayak. One kayaker died and another was injured.
Heavy rain, in excess of 1.5 inches per hour, produced flash flooding in the Malibu area. Flooding was reported in Malibu City Hall. Also, mudslides closed sections of Malibu Canyon Road.
