Never a dull moment, eh? All four seasons are rough: fire, flood/slides, quakes, riots.

[BurbankKarl]

they are establishing a command post at Hart Park in Santa Clarita....

the community of Val Verde is being flooded

I used to live in Orange County in the 90s. Do any of the radio stations do internet streaming besides KFI. KFI is sticking to their regular programming. I would like to hear some of the news radio broadcasts. It doesn't look like KFWB does streaming audio.

[BurbankKarl]

This doesn't look good...

[dogbyte12]

looks like at least another 6-8 hours of the stuff still piling on through.

Bet Monday morning commute is going to be a bitch.

126 closed between Piru and Santa Clarita? I think I just heard

[califamily4W]

Holy guacamole!
Debated whether or not to go to church after the big red/yellow cells passed...went for it....yikes! The maps are deceiving. Slight hydroplaning on the freeway near the Santa Clara river (raging muddy rampage) on green satellite cells that felt just as bad as yellow or even red.
Headed back home to find the street lights out, Mc Donald's dark and the power off in our home.

[A CA Guy]

Wow, hope the power is only off for a short time.

[BurbankKarl]

Yes, that was closed a little bit this morning....

I am reading that CA330 has collapsed near Arrowhead

[BurbankKarl]

I think you will hear warnings of not going into work...I think Metrolink will be out of commission on the Ventura and Valley subs

[socal_parrot]

Flooding in Lake Gregory..

[lainie]

Wow, that's not good. Still haven't heard more about 138 yet but it was said to be approaching washed-out.

Ohhhhhh geeeeez, lainie...where is that? No one was hurt, I hope??

[pbear8]

Boss Radio in Boss Angeles!

[lainie]

It's the house that collapsed on Laurel Canyon Blvd.. described alternately as Hollywood, "the valley," and Studio City. Wherever it is, a dad and his two kids were rescued.

"Flooding has already occurred on Ventura Road in Oxnard"

I was on Ventura Rd in Oxnard 40 minutes ago.....it is closing!

[BurbankKarl]

Is that the one on Laurel Cyn?

Mulholland Drive has mudslides up and down it...

[califamily4W]

Fortunately we missed most of the black out, but checked with our neighbors it was out for almost three hours (happy we took a detour to the market before coming home)... cooped up like that with groceries thawing and kids complaining...I would have needed a margarita with my holy quacamole.
