LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The occupants of 180 homes in Duarte were under mandatory evacuation orders in the face of today's expected storm, which forecasters said would be the biggest so far this season, threatening to unleash monster winds, flash flooding, mud slides and cascades of debris down slopes stripped bare by wildfires.
The evacuation orders were issued Thursday, before any rain appeared, and were due to go into effect at 7 this morning, when the alert level for neighborhoods below the Fish Fire burn area will be raised to red. Additionally, classes were canceled at Valley View School in anticipation of the storm. KFI More Stimulating Talk - Los Angeles
Volunteers went door-to-door in affected neighborhoods Thursday afternoon, notifying residents about the evacuation orders. An evacuation center will be set up at the City Hall Community Center at 1600 Huntington Drive.
Evacuated residents are encouraged to bring medicines and any other items they may need for a minimum 48-hour period,'' according to a notice issues by the city. Meals will be provided to all evacuees and L.A. County Animal Control has made their mobile shelter on site for those that need to bring animals.''
Duarte residents were warned to keep vehicles, trash bins and other obstructions off roadways, and a series of streets were closed in advance of the storm. Closures were ordered at Royal Oaks and Greenbank; Bettyhill and Conata; Royal Oaks and Mel Canyon; eastbound Fish Canyon at Mel Canyon; westbound Fish Canyon at Mel Canyon, Mountaincrest and Deerlane; Brookridge and Tannencrest; and Sunnydale Drive and Westvale Road.

I’m here and it wasn’t that bad.
You know how we put WD-40 on a rusty bolt and let it soak before trying to loosen it? Hopefully this rain is the pre-earthquake WD-40 to ready San Francisco, Berkeley, Hollyweird and any other leftist havens for their eventual separation from the continent. Now that’s secession I can believe in.
“Venegeance is mine....” Leave them to the Lord.
I sure hope the mud slides wipe out the Oscar’s and mess up all the extravagant evening gowns. :)
Let the cleansing begin
Doing a quick web search I noted that both the California recent drought and current floods are blamed on global warming.
Oh no, who let the unicorns go for a ride on the inflatable raft?
filling all the reservoirs increases the load on the river fault line that produces increased stress that will be relieved by the earth quake
