We saw smoke here from a fire near #Los_Angeles, but I'm not sure which fire it was.

I remember when "wildfire" was just a popular song, not a way of life.

Also, this area of #SoCal isn’t great for bicycles. The roads aren’t designed with anyone except automobile drivers in mind. Both sidewalks and bicycle lanes are few and far between. (Not that bicyclists should ride on sidewalks, except in places where the two are combined.) Also, a big chunk of the population works 100 miles away in the #Los_Angeles area, so they are accustomed to speeding and swerving in and out of traffic.

Even as a pedestrian, there are certain intersections where near misses are a common occurence.

Fed up with #Los_Angeles’ inaction on homelessness, Elvis Summers started building tiny homes, where homeless people can live and keep their stuff.

At the very moment the City was announcing yet another ten year plan to “fix” homelessness, the police and sanitation departments were seizing people’s tiny houses.

It mostly affected a very small area in the #SoCal City of Downey, though the alert (accidentally?) was sent to all of #Los_Angeles County.

I did throw “Downey gas leak” into DDG and Google, but no links tell whether the situation is resolved yet.

Did the employee's performance evaluation, submitted it just as the site went down. Two hours later, I was able to confirm that the eval submitted properly.

Also, both the eastbound #I-10 and the eastbound #SR-60 in #Los_Angeles are congested to the point that traffic is moving at 10MPH or less. I think the 10 was moving faster than the 60.

#Los_Angeles police clear homeless camp out of Echo Park

A woman from work had recently visited the park, thinking it was a good place for a walk. She quickly perceived danger and went elsewhere for her exercise. Also, I drove past the park yesterday, probably four to five hours before the police moved in. I was amazed at the vastness of the difference since the 1980s.

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.

* 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.
