LA is about to get 6 months of rain in 3 days
Southern California is a different world, a dry desert landscape with cacti and native succulents mixed in with invasives like eucalyptus and Brazilian pepper trees. Streets are not design for lot of rain. While we might have a storm sewer receiver on each end of every block, in many neighborhoods in Orange County, a slight swale runs for several blocks before collecting in a sewer. It’s usually enough. Probably not in the conflagration about to hit though. https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/flood-rain-snow-wind-california-atmospheric-river-weekend
