They've found the body of the man who was dared to swim across Topanga Creek. A FF had to risk his life, lowering himself into a muddy canyon to retrieve the young man's body.
Lake Cachuma must be full if they are releasing water above flood stage....doh!

Interesting about Santa Ynez river.
Palmdale Search & Rescue has been notified that people up in the Bouquet Canyon cabins that are stranded, have said they're okay for now and don't want anybody to risk running up there. Vehicles can't make it because roads are all gone. They have plenty of supplies, spotty elecricity but no cell phone coverage.
Hallelujah, some responsible people !!
Unit was stolen from the back lot -- Code 3 to be stationed at 9th east & Palmdale Blvd; Q12 & 9th east, other two corners -- Containment setting up.
Overturned big rig northbound 101 at Gaviota Tunnel, ONE VEH TURNED AROUND AND NOW GOING WRONG WAY SMALL WHI PASSENGER VEH PER CALTRANS AT SCENE, someone was going south in the northbound lane?
I thought that was what Air 5 was doing.....flying up the Canyons looking for people in distress....
Turns out they were, but the last batch said we're good.
It looks like the sky is about to open up out here, but the radar seems to be drying up.
