Just confirmed - it's dropped to 902. I didn't hear what the current wind speeds are, but...that's not good.

I think the outer fringes have already landed....just looking at the radar. Winds up to 30mph.

It just floors me that the LA governor took the initial threat so lightly and that the people took their cue from her. Very few evacuated because it wasn't taken seriesly enough.

Just think, if this had been thought out at all, there would be very little threat to loss of life. As is, this will be devastating. The potential loss of life due to the ineptitude of the LA governor is staggering.
