Flood Warnings and Rainstorms: LA's Evolving Water Story
Right now, Los Angeles is experiencing historic rainfall as a powerful atmospheric river storm rolled through the region over the past four days. According to SFGATE, Saturday saw an unusually strong storm douse Southern California, prompting county-wide flood warnings and leading to concerns about mudslides, especially in hillside neighborhoods and areas recently hit by wildfires.
The National Weather Service reports that downtown LA received over 1.23 inches of rain in just the past 48 hours, taking this month’s total up to 3.56 inches. That is a whopping 349 percent above normal precipitation for November and already more than what LA typically gets for the entire month. Long Beach topped 1.12 inches, showing this system blanketed much of the region with substantial rain.
As Ecoflow notes, this is the most rain downtown LA has seen in a four-day period since February. The benefits are clear: drought fatigue is temporarily eased and autumn wildfire risks have diminished. However, there are serious concerns. Many local burn zones are now bracing for flash flooding and mudslides. ABC News reports that yesterday, heavy rain led to tragedy in Pacific Palisades, where rapidly rising water pushed a vehicle off a bridge, highlighting the dangers these storms can bring.
Infrastructure is being tested. LADWP News shares that Los Angeles Department of Water and Power crews have been working around the clock, restoring power during the rainstorm and monitoring water reservoirs. Water quality for drinking purposes remains safe and within state standards, though residents in hillside areas have been urged to check for turbidity and avoid untreated runoff. System capacity is holding, and local reservoirs are topping up thanks to the rain, setting LA’s drinking water reserves in a good position going into winter.
Despite the deluge, LA’s tap water remains reliable and safe, the LADWP confirms, with no boil advisories currently in effect. If you’re out and about, the city recommends avoiding standing water, watching for downed power lines, and reporting any flooding on your street.
The end of the storm is expected by tonight, and meteorologists from the National Weather Service say Los Angeles may see cooler temperatures and a rare, clear week ahead.
Rainstorms of this magnitude remind us of how quickly conditions can change for LA’s water supply. From drought to deluge, our water story is ever evolving. Thanks for tuning in to this update and don’t forget to subscribe.
