    What a difference #Interceptor007 makes! Capturing trash in #BallonaCreek keeps the ocean and nearby #LABeaches clean in this first U.S. test of @TheOceanCleanup Interceptor technology following #LARain

    #LARain ☔ can create powerful & dangerous conditions in LA County waterways & river channels— please avoid them during and after the storm. 🎥 @CountyofLA

    #TRAFFICALERT Mulholland Hwy, in the Santa Monica Mountains, is closed between Las Virgenes Rd and Cornell Rd due to heavy mudflow and rockfall on the roadway. Maintenance crews will begin removing rocks, mud and debris once heavy rain has subsided. #LARain

    🚨 Alert🚨: Think flood waters look shallow? THINK AGAIN! 🌊 Avoid walking, driving, or swimming through them. It takes just 6 inches of water to change everything. Spot a flooded road while driving? Play it safe: Turn around, don't drown!
