Latest storm brings rain, flooding risk to Southern California

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:47:50 GMT

Yet another storm is hitting Southern California on Friday, and though there won't be nearly as much snow as two weeks ago, rain presents its own dangers.Steady rain is expected Friday and Saturday, prompting the National Weather Service to warn of possible "significant road/urban & small stream flooding." Interactive Storm Coverage “It won’t be one of those cold, wintery storms,” said KTLA Meteorologist Kaj Goldberg. “But nonetheless, we will see measurable rainfall.” The issue could be compounded by the relatively warmer rain falling on snow that has already amassed in San Bernardino County and other mountain communities in Southern California. The additional precipitation is likely to melt some of the snow, creating even more runoff, and in some cases, the rain might make the snow atop buildings even heavier, increasing the likelihood of roof collapse.With the ground already saturated from previous storms, the NWS warned the public to protect ...

Oscars vs. 'The Last of Us': What are you watching Sunday?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:47:50 GMT

Will Joel and Ellie finally reach the doctors in “The Last of Us”? Will Michelle Yeoh take home the Oscar for best actress?Both questions will be answered this Sunday, but viewers may have to make a choice about which answer they want in real time. The season finale of the HBO hit is up against the live telecast of the Oscars on ABC.Of course, there’s an opportunity to see both. The Oscars begin at 8 p.m. Eastern; “ The Last of Us ” airs at 9 p.m. Viewers could begin their night watching the Oscars, click over to “The Last of Us,” and return for the ceremony's last hour. That's when the biggest categories are usually handed out, but that plan comes with the risk of missing any buzzy, unscripted moments. And if you choose to stick with the Oscars throughout? You risk spoilers on the fate of Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal's characters.The debate essentially boils down to zeitgeist, says Robert Thompson, a professor at Syracuse University specializing in media and director for the Bleie...

Jenny O Loves the Stones

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:47:50 GMT

Jenny O Loves the Stones: L.A. singer and songwriter Jenny O told us about her Rolling Stones experience.Jenny O: It remains difficult to wrap my head around the use of the word “gig” to describe a concert I did not perform myself, as gig to me has always implied employment. But I will describe to you the time I saw the Rolling Stones in concert, Los Angeles, 2021.First of all, we are alive at the same time as THEE Rolling Stones. Well, except Charlie Watts now. They are still touring, and they are still absolutely incredible. The Rolling Stones performed a rock concert for me and my friends (and like 50 thousand other people) on October 17, 2021. After everything we went through in 2020, after all they went through, and survived, we got in that room together and danced and sang our hearts out for two hours, on the floor of the So-fi stadium, right over the field where the LA Rams play football. One smash hit after another. I absolutely lost my mind during “Miss You.” I was perplexe...

What do you do if you’re stuck between road boulders and autobahn wannabes: Roadshow

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:47:50 GMT

Q: I was surprised by your answer regarding the express lane speed limit. I just took the in-person exam at the DMV and one question was, “How fast should you drive on a highway with a posted limit of 65 mph if the flow of traffic is exceeding the limit?” The answer was that it would be illegal to drive over 65 mph in order to keep up with the flow of traffic. Please help. We are caught between road boulders and autobahn wannabes.Dick Powers, Los GatosA: Technically, you’re correct. Drivers need to find a lane where they can safely go with the flow. Traffic in some lanes may exceed the speed limit, but often, not all do.Q: I fail to see how Interstate 980 disrupts West Oakland. Half of it is elevated, with lots of streets crossing below. The half not elevated has 5 bridges crossing over it.If you want to see a town made unusable by freeways, try Milpitas. We are chopped up by two freeways and a major rail yard in a town less than 4 miles across. Two east-west thoroughfar...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:47:50 GMT

The day after winning the first NorCal title in school history, Half Moon Bay coach John Parsons described his mental and emotional state as “still pretty much on Cloud 9.”Parsons grew up in the small coastal town and was a two-time San Mateo County player of the year as a combo guard for the Cougars in the early 2000s.
