    <description>At 6:30 AM, December, 15, 2008, the National Weather Service in San Diego issued a Flash Flood Warning for the area burned by the Freeway Complex.  Areas potentially affected by debris flows are Olinda Village near Brea, Carbon Canyon, Brush Canyon, Box Canyon and San Antonio near Yorba Linda, and the Cascade apartments in Anaheim.  Residents and motorists in, and below the recently burned areas should be alert to debris flows that may block roads and culverts.  </description>
    <instruction>A flash flood warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring.  If you are in the warning area, move to higher ground immediately.  Residents living along streams and creeks should take immediate precautions to protect life and property.  Do not attempt to cross swiftly flowing waters or waters of unknown depth by foot or by automobile.</instruction>
