Good morning, Los Angeles! ☀️

We made it through the bulk of the storm. Yesterday, as anticipated, brought heavy rain, flooding, and debris flows across the city.

Now, the cleanup begins. As we get back on our feet, stay aware of lingering hazards—flooded streets, downed power lines, road closures, and debris.

Stay safe and stay strong — let’s take good care of each other.
