Risk rises for #mudslides around #LACounty fire zones; prepare for worst-case scenario, officials warn

"With more rain on the way, officials warned Sunday of an increasing risk of mudslides in #LosAngelesCounty's burn areas, with a 10% to 20% chance of significant #FlashFlooding and #DebrisFlows capable of damaging roads and homes in and around areas devastated by #wildfires.
"'This is the worst-case scenario to prepare for,' said Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"'We do have increasing concern for the #BurnScars,' Lund said. The charred footprint of the Eaton fire, which blackened more than 14,000 acres, is the most worrisome. 'These #FlashFloods and these debris flows could happen in and near or below these burn scars.'
"A #FloodWatch took effect at 10 a.m. Sunday and was set to continue through 4 p.m. Monday for the burned areas of the #EatonFire in the #Altadena and #Pasadena areas; the #PalisadesFire and #FranklinFires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas; the Hughes fire around Lake Castaic; and the Bridge fire in the San Gabriel Mountains west and southwest of Wrightwood. The flood watch started six hours earlier than originally anticipated as rain began falling steadily around Los Angeles."

This week's Asking Jennifer episode has drawn an urgent question from residents and city leaders: Why was the reservoir empty for nearly a year?
The saga traces back to January 2024, when a DWP property manager spotted a tear in the reservoir's floating cover after a series of rainstorms, according to internal emails reviewed by The Times.
Reposted from @cityofthousandoaks: Smoke from the Hughes Fire at Castaic Lake is currently impacting the air countywide. There is no fire in Thousand Oaks at this time, but please stay aware of rapidly changing conditions. Get updates on conditions in Ventura County at vcemergency.com.

The power was out for 3 nights and came back on. It was because SoCal Edison is getting sued for ~allegedly~ being the cause of the Eaton Fire in AltaDena, California. The Pacific Palisades is also not Los Angeles for those watching outside of California news.
In a joint release with American Express, Hilton announced it is making 20,000 hotel room nights available at no charge to impacted people across the greater Los Angeles area.
To be considered for the program, residents need to first apply to 211 LA for housing assistance
Residents who have already applied through 211 LA do not to need to fill out another application.

No new fires in Ventura, Santa Barbara, or LA County. Things looking good at the moment. In Ventura County, circuit restoration underway -- only 14 circuits now deenergized, 1 being inspected. 1 only now imminent, 43 monitored. Significant number were restored over the last 6 hours. (back to bed for me until the wind picks up again). #FireWx #VenturaCounty #LACounty 1/15/25 0132

Some LA County Libraries have mental health kits to help with traumatic life events. While they're designed for families with children, I would find them helpful as an adult.
