Record-breaking rain lashes California, with two people killed during storm in Sonoma County

LA Times  

A pedestrian crosses the street by the 6th Street Viaduct in Los Angeles on Wednesday. For the Thursday and Friday storm, Long Beach and Redondo Beach could get one-third of an inch of rain; Thousand Oaks and Oxnard, two-fifths of an inch; Santa Clarita and Canoga Park, about half an inch; San Luis Obispo, two-thirds of an inch; downtown Los Angeles, Covina and Fillmore, six-sevenths of an inch; Santa Barbara, about 1 inch; and Ojai, about 1½ inches. Los Angeles and Ventura counties could see wind gusts from the southeast and southwest, peaking between 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday at 8 a.m. Gusts could reach 30 mph to 40 mph in San Luis Obispo County, northern Santa Barbara County and L.A. County’s high desert, but are expected to be milder in the Los Angeles metro area and most of Ventura County, with gusts around 10 mph. “The recent rains are sufficient enough to dampen limit any fire weather concerns, at least for this next push.” From Friday night through Monday, gusts could reach 12 mph in Covina; 14 mph in downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach; 21 mph in Canoga Park, Thousand Oaks and Fillmore; 22 mph in Oxnard; 26 mph in Santa Clarita; 28 mph in Acton; 41 mph in Lancaster and 58 mph at Pyramid Lake. The center’s latest map released Thursday shows nearly all of coastal Southern California, including most of Los Angeles and Ventura counties and all of Orange and San Diego counties, in “extreme drought.” Much of the rest of the region is considered to be in severe drought.
