I don’t get alerts for #Los_Angeles, #Ventura, or #Santa_Barbara Counties, but the radar forecast on https://nu.federati.net/url/279542 looks like they’re still up for heavy rainfall and flash flooding / urban flooding. Also, mudslides in areas near recent burn scars.
The #Inland_Empire counties ( #San_Bernardino and #Riverside ), where I do get alerts, still have #NOAA / #NWS warnings for both wind and rainfall, watches for flash flooding on the coastal side of the mountains.
If you’re in #SoCal, pay attention to where you’re driving.

#NOAA / #NWS has issued Winter storm advisories for the Greater #Los_Angeles area. Expecting snow and heavy rains in the mountains (primarily the seaward side), rains and runoff in the foothills and valleys. Gusty winds expected across #SoCal, so possible power outages as well.
Areas in and below the scars of recent wildfires should prepare for potential mudflows.
Parts of #California are expected to receive and atmospheric river of cold precipitation over the next few days.
Most of the state was in drought conditions,

#NOAA / #NWS Winter weather advisory for mountains in #SoCal’s #San_Bernardino and #Riverside counties from 2021-01-19 14:00 PST to 2021-01-20 06:00 PST.
* 2-4 inches of snow above 5500 feet elevation, some locations up to 8 inches; some snow possible down to 3500 feet elevation (which could affect passes)
* Expect restricted visibility and slick roads.
Not included in this advisory, but I’d expect mountain areas in #Los_Angeles and #San_Diego counties to likewise receive snowfall.

As of almost two years ago, the above plan to build an amusement facility atop the landfill ... is not going to happen.
What I'm amazed at is that for years, #BKK was in the #SoCal news at least weekly ... the city ( #West_Covina ) and county ( #Los_Angeles ) trying to close it down, toxic chemical producers worries about where they were going to send their waste, and BKK corporation trying to keep it open until they could open another such dump.
I think they were already closed by the time that Waste Management Corp tried to get Rail-Cycle approved. RC was one of two projects meant to ship waste by rail to the far-off parts of the California desert, where some was to be burned to produce electricity and some was to be buried in a newly-constructed landfill. Eventually, both plans failed to garner enough support.

I used to occasionally watch #NFL football, but when football left #Los_Angeles, trying to force #SoCal residents to pay for their new stadium, they lost me entirely. Coming back two decades later was too little, too late.

Fun facts about !SoCal:
(1) #Orange County is traditionally a Republican dominated area, occasionally referred to as "behind the Orange Curtain". #Riverside and #San_Bernardino counties are also Republican, except for areas in and near the City of San Bernardino itself.
(2) In #Los_Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles, there is some jealousy and rivalry between the San Fernando Valley and the San Gabriel Valley. SFV is mostly part of L.A City, and got to keep the 818 area code during the 626 split, while SGV did not. SFV's distincive speech patterns ("ValSpeak") were also featured and mocked in "Valley Girl", which caused people all over the country to copy it. SGV's more Hispanic oriented speech patterns are not on anyone's clone list.

#Orange_County: Blue Ridge Fire grows tenfold overnight, now at 8,000 acres, evacuations ordered in Yorba Linda and Brea, and across the #San_Bernardino county line in Chino Hills. Diamond Bar in #Los_Angeles County is not yet under evacuation orders. https://abc7.com/evacuation-orders-remain-as-massive-fire-threatens-yorba-linda-homes/7386165/ [abc7 com]
The Silverado Fire near Irvine is now at 7,200 acres. Evacuations continue in multiple OC cities.

Uh oh. #SoCal fires: Silverado Fire near Irvine went from ~10 acres to 4,000 acres, critically burned two firefighters; Blue Ridge Fire near Yorba Linda is 700 acres and moving toward homes. These are both in #Orange County, but Blue Ridge is about to cross into #Los_Angeles and #San_Bernardino Counties near Chino.
Evacuations: 20,000 homes ( about 60,000 people ) near the Silverado Fire ordered to leave.
Around 12 schools evacuated. Ontario International Airport (ONT) closed temporarily due to winds. (Supposedly Santa Ana winds, but in my area, they're coming from the wrong direction to be Santa Anas. Likewise for Yorba Linda, if the winds are taking the fire toward Chino.)

I remember being on a walk in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) area of #Los_Angeles County in #SoCal when helicopters sprayed malathion laced bait to knock down a Mediterranean Fruit Fly (medfly) infestation.
I don't know of any ill effects, but I did get sprayed that night.

#NOAA / #NWS issuing #fire_weather alert (watch) for portions of !SoCal's #San_Bernardino and #Riverside and #San_Diego Counties, as "strong gusty winds and low humidity" are expected in mountains and valleys. Includes some #Low_Desert areas, but no #High_Desert areas. Yucaipa, home to two large fires this Summer, is included in the danger area.
The alert does not cover #Orange or #Los_Angeles counties, but that may be a function of which office issued the bulletin.
If you're in Southern California, please be careful not to do things which could cause another catastrophic fire. There was a town in NorCal (Paradise) that no one had ever heard of until nearly the entire town burned down and many residents were killed in a fire a couple of years ago. We don't want other municipalities to relive their experience.

#Los_Angeles County oversight commission asks Sheriff Alex Villanueva to resign https://www.courthousenews.com/police-watchdog-group-demands-la-county-sheriff-resign/
!SoCal #LASD
I think I recall him trying to release the names of "problem deputies" and getting blocked at every turn. Perhaps he decided to get along with entrenched corrupt and abusive deputies instead of fighting and losing.
Is #SoCal unusual in having police gangs? I've read in the past about gangfights between LASD gangs and #LAPD gangs.

Took a trip to SGV in #SoCal to meet one of my brothers. Smoke was thick, but area isn't orange colored. https://abc7.com/weather/socal-air-remains-thick-with-smoke-from-raging-wildfires/6420436/ [abc7 com]
Locally, there is a thin layer of smoke against the mountains, but winds continue to push most of the smoke into the #Los_Angeles area.

#Los_Angeles police with county sheriff deputies assisting just concluded a pursuit on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway, #SR-1) near a brushfire. It sounds like guy may have had medical issue and sideswiped a few cars. Paramedics and ambulance have been called.
