Winter is here. Driving safely in #winter weather can be a challenge for even the most experienced driver. Regardless of the weather conditions, slow down. Vehicles can't stop as fast or turn as accurately on wet, snowy or icy pavement. Decreased visibility is also a possibility. pic.twitter.com/NsFmj94Eif

一系列的风暴也给南加州山火烧伤区域再次带来泥石流威胁。橙郡圣安娜山脉山火烧伤区域的居民在上周的暴雨下被泥石流破坏,包括Silverado Canyon,Modjeska Canyon 和 Williams Canyon 的居民民众正在募款帮助清理社区,但是另一轮潜在的泥石流可能到来。
截至本周三(23日)上午,Silverado Canyon地区还没有发布撤离令,但敦促居民保持警惕。目前许多山区城市政府也都在呼吁居民提高警惕,并开始发放免费的沙袋。
