Funny You should mention the Idiot in the Stormdrain!2 days ago,The police found a Mini-Van in Ballona Creek,Upside down,It had 4 occupants inside!I live about 300yds from the creek,There were 4 Choppers hovering over the AO,None were News/Media related,2 were Black-Kiowas,1 Red CoastGuard-Chinook,1 Blue/White-loach police,A whole Company of LAFD,Assorted Fire Vehicles,& A Grip of Black n'Whites,the AO was Cordoned off,with Sheriff deputies in Flakvests,& Shotguns!All this stuff,& it didn't even make the Local Newspaper!Yesterday,the LAFD made a rescue Not 50 yds, from where the Mini Van was found& again nothing in The News ,Whatsoever!The Ballona Creek is a Huge Concrete Channel with aprox.10% Grade,When it Rains in LA,It becomes a Class-4 Rapids of Brown Sludge,that make it's way to The Great Pacific!All that aside,No sight of Tornadic Activity,So far,plenty of trees down though!
