Update: Orange County under a flood advisory early Friday evening

• March 8, 2025

Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties are included in an updated flood advisory issued by the National Weather Service on Friday at 4:25 p.m. The advisory is in effect until 4:56 p.m.

The NWS San Diego CA states to anticipate, “Urban and small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.”

“Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Water over roadways,” the NWS said. “Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.”

Understanding the differences between advisories, watches, and warnings

• Flash flood warning: Take action!

A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is either imminent or already occurring. In flood-prone areas, it’s crucial to move immediately to higher ground. A flash flood is a sudden and violent inundation that can develop within minutes to hours, and it can even happen in areas not currently experiencing rainfall.

• Flood warning: Take action!

A flood warning is declared when flooding is on the verge of happening or is already underway.

• Flood advisory: Be aware:

A flood advisory is issued when flooding is not expected to be bad enough to issue a warning. However, it may cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised, it could lead to situations that may threaten life and/or property.

• Flood watch: Be prepared:

A flood watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding. It doesn’t guarantee that flooding will occur, but it signifies that the possibility exists.

When floods strike: Guidelines from the NWS for your protection

Floods can pose a significant threat, especially if you live in a flood-prone area or find yourself camping in a low-lying region. To ensure your safety, the NWS offers essential flood safety guidelines:

Move to higher ground:

If you reside in a flood-prone region or are camping in low-lying terrain, the first step to safety is relocating to higher ground.

Follow evacuation orders:

When local authorities issue an evacuation order, promptly comply. Before leaving, secure your home by locking it.

Disconnect utilities and appliances:

If time permits, disconnect your utilities and appliances. This precaution minimizes electrical hazards during flooding.

Steer clear of flooded basements and submerged areas:

Steer clear of basements or rooms where water has submerged electrical outlets or cords. This helps prevent electrical accidents.

Evacuate promptly for safety:

If you notice sparks or hear buzzing, crackling, snapping, or popping sounds, evacuate without delay. Do not enter water that may carry an electrical charge.

Refrain from walking in floodwaters:

Never attempt to walk through floodwaters, even if they appear shallow. Just 6 inches of fast-moving water can forcefully sweep you off your feet.

Seek high ground if trapped:

In the event you become trapped by moving water, make your way to the highest point available and contact emergency services by calling 911.

During periods of intense rainfall, the risk of flooding increases, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas. It is imperative to avoid driving through any water on the road, even if it seems shallow. According to the NWS, most cars can be swept away by just 12 inches of rushing water. Stay safe by being prepared and informed.

Rainy roadways ahead: Essential safety tips for heavy rain

Heavy rainfall may lead to flooding if prolonged or if there is excessive runoff. Excessive runoff can be a result of saturated ground and/or rainfall intensity. Follow these recommendations from the NWS to stay safe in heavy rain:

Beware of rapid water flow:

During heavy rain, avoid parking or walking near culverts or drainage ditches, where swift-moving water can pose a serious risk.

Maintain safe driving distances:

Adhere to the two-second rule for maintaining a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you. In heavy rain, allow an additional two seconds of distance to compensate for reduced traction and braking effectiveness.

Reduce speed and drive cautiously:

On wet roads, slowing down is paramount. Gradually ease off the accelerator and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.

Choose your lane wisely:

Stay toward the middle lanes – water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Visibility matters:

Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by turning on your headlights. Watch out for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.

Watch out for slippery roads:

The initial half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mixture of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.

Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:

Don’t follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.

Mind your windshield wipers:

• Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely limits your sight, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or protected spots.
• If the roadside is your only option, pull off as far as possible, preferably past the end of a guard rail, and wait until the storm passes. Keep your headlights on and turn on emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.

In the face of heavy rain, these precautions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety on the road. Remember to stay informed about weather conditions and heed guidance from local authorities for a secure journey.

LA Metro teams up with legislator proposing $20 billion transportation bond

• March 8, 2025

With major rail, bus and bike trail projects in the works but not fully funded, LA Metro has relied on federal dollars to plug funding gaps.

But under the new Trump administration, that strategy may be a thing of the past.

So the transit agency serving a quarter of the state’s population and attempting to move more customers on transit to improve traffic conditions and reduce greenhouse gases, is joining with a rookie California state legislator to do something not done in 20 years: Put a transportation bond on the statewide November 2026 ballot.

The bond would raise $20 billion to help build rail projects, roadway overpasses, electric-vehicle charging stations and non-motorized transportation projects such as bikeways and walkways.

The idea was raised by Los Angeles County Supervisor and Metro Board Chair Janice Hahn at a Metro committee meeting two months ago. It was picked up by Assemblymember Nick Schultz, D-Burbank, who introduced Assembly Bill 939 on Feb. 19.

Hahn said she was concerned several LA Metro rail projects would lose federal dollars due to a memo issued by Trump’s new Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, that prioritized federal dollars for cities and counties with higher marriage and birth rates.

Hahn said this was a policy that “seemed to steer tax dollars away from the city and county of Los Angeles” and would affect projects that also get dollars from L.A. County voters who taxed themselves to build more rail and bus projects.

“At a time when there is concern about whether our most important transportation projects will get the federal funding they need and deserve, it makes sense to pursue a state bond for dollars we would have control over,” Hahn said.

Assembly Bill 939, the “Safe, Sustainable, Traffic-Reducing Transportation Bond Act of 2026” was born after Schultz, a former Burbank mayor elected to state office in November, met with LA Metro officials to help draft the bill.

AB 939 would make about $10 billion in capital available for local and regional rail projects. About $3.5 billion would be set aside for bike/pedestrian lanes and local street rehabilitation; $3 billion for electric cars, buses, vans, trolley cars, locomotives and hydrogen-powered vehicles; $2.5 billion for freight infrastructure in ports, rail yards and trucking depots; and $1 billion for bridges and other safety improvements.

“If there is a decrease in federal funding for capital projects, this is a bond that would have a little something for everybody around the state,” said Schultz on Friday, March 7, in an interview.

“There aren’t going to be new funding streams for transportation in the next decade, so this would do a lot of good,” he added. “We also think this is a job creator at a time when people are struggling in our economy with work leaving the state.”

AB 939 needs approval in the Assembly and the state Senate, and a signature from Gov. Gavin Newsom in order to be placed on the statewide ballot. Then it would take a simple majority of votes to make it law.

The last transportation bond went before California voters when George W. Bush was president. The 2006 statewide transportation bond was initiated by the state Legislature and approved for the ballot by Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Measure 1B  was approved by 61.4% of the voters on Nov. 7, 2006.

Schultz was forthcoming about the obstacles facing the bill in the legislature and then getting approval from a majority of California voters.

“It is the first time in awhile, and it is an ambitious ask — a $20 billion bond. That is a sizable one,” he said.

Schultz said the biggest challenge would be to get the bill through the legislature as it competes with other bond measures such as a $10 billion bond for affordable housing.

“We don’t know if we can afford both,” he said. “Sometimes in the state legislature, there is a reluctance to put too much on the ballot,” he explained. “But I’m not saying there isn’t room for both.”

Bonds are not taxes, but they are not free money. A bond measure involves the state selling bonds to be used, in this case for transportation projects, then paying them back with interest out of the state’s general fund over several years.

Joel Fox, a senior fellow at Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Public Policy, said although California voters have often approved state bond measures, things may be changing.

Last November, Proposition 1 barely passed, despite heavy support from Gov. Newsom. It will rearrange the way cities and counties spend state dollars on homeless initiatives, emphasizing mental health services and housing programs.

Newsom may be moving to the center, especially if he makes a run for president in 2028, so he may want to appear more fiscally conservative, Fox said.

“He may not want to support a lot of heavy duty bonds on the next ballot,” he said. “If there are multiple bond measures, usually the governor would narrow the field on which ones get there.”

Schultz says the new bill is in the early stages and may go before the state Assembly Transportation Committee later this month. While it works its way through the process, he wants to build coalitions.

With LA Metro on board, the agency likely can send up a list of projects eligible for the state bond money. These could include the Southeast Gateway Line, a 19-mile light-rail line planned to go from L.A.’s Union Station to Artesia, which is in need of federal dollars. Also the East San Fernando Valley Light-Rail project down Van Nuys Boulevard is appealing for more federal money.

Move LA, a nonprofit advocating for better public transit, supports the bill.

“With the federal government threatening to pull back its investment in fast, frequent, and reliable mobility options that reduce traffic, it is more important than ever for California to invest in clean and safe transportation options,” said Eli Lipmen, executive director of Move LA.

Schultz said part of the pitch will be to help California motorists ditch their internal combustion engine cars for electric ones. He said adding more public chargers would remove some of the hesitancy.

He believes more Californians want to do something about climate change after the devastating fires in Los Angeles County in January, which many scientists say were pushed by winds as a result of changes in climate conditions.

“I will be talking to legislators on both sides of the aisle,” Schultz said. “This is not a Democrat vs. Republican issue. I view this as bipartisan legislation.”

Look inside Laguna Niguel’s all-time most-expensive home sold at $16.25 million

• March 7, 2025

A transitional Spanish-style mansion in guard-gated Bear Brand Ranch recently set a record sales price in Laguna Niguel, closing for $16.25 million.

The 8,151-square-foot residence, a custom rebuild by interior designer Laura Brophy, offers a blend of contemporary and traditional style, features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a separate ocean-view casita with a coffee bar. Records show the property traded hands between trusts on Feb. 14 for slightly more than the $15.995 million asking price.

Perched on a nearly half-acre lot just 2 miles from the beach, the house backs up to a terrace with an infinity-edge pool and spa, outdoor kitchen and linear brick fireplace. It boasts ocean and coastline views.

Access to the grand steel-and-glass pivot front door requires passing through the low-walled and gated entry courtyard, adorned by olive trees, potted shrubs and a stone fountain.

Inside, a custom triple-tier circular chandelier hangs from the double-height foyer crossed by a staircase and the upstairs bridge. There’s a double-sided glass wine cellar under the staircase.

White oak flooring runs throughout the house for a clean, continuous look.

Other features include curved archways, built-ins and steel glass doors and windows, along with vaulted skylights that flood the interior with natural light.

The open-concept floor plan features a great room with a double-sided fireplace. It flows into the eat-in gourmet kitchen, boasting black-and-white checkered European marble floor, two oversized Calacatta Monet islands, Thermador appliances and custom cabinetry.

A sliding window above the kitchen sink stacks to one side, creating a pass-through window to the outdoor kitchen.

Reclaimed wood doors open into the primary suite with a coffee/wet bar, fireplace and spa-inspired bathroom with mosaic tiles, dual vanities and a soaking tub.

A gated cobblestone driveway that ends at a four-car garage, top-of-the-line audio-visual and security systems round out the property.

Phil Caruso and Michael Caruso of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California listed the property, while A.J. Olson Whitfield of Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer.

After the Eaton fire, the Altadena Main Library reopens

• March 7, 2025

If, years ago, you’d peered into the children’s section of the Altadena Main Library, you’d have seen a girl reading and keeping an eye on her three younger siblings.

That experience made an impact, because that girl grew up to become the current president of the library’s Board of Trustees, Kameelah Waheed Wilkerson.

“Over in that corner is where I spent a lot of my childhood,” says Wilkerson, who was on hand March 4 as the Altadena Library reopened following the Eaton fire.

Standing by a window looking out onto trees and the San Gabriel Mountains, Wilkerson recalled how that spot, which is now the magazine area, played a huge role in her early life.

“My three younger siblings and I spent a lot of time in the library, especially during the summers. We would walk there from our house, check out books, hang out a while … That corner was my favorite because it had all the books I was interested in.”

She can remember what she was reading, too. “There were two books that I checked out from that corner that were mine and my brothers’ favorites. I would read aloud to them at home and these were ones that we read multiple times,” she shared in a followup email about “Mad Mad Monday” by Herma Silverstein and “The Darkangel” by Meredith Ann Pierce. “I actually bought them as an adult and keep them as memories.”

Wilkerson spoke with gratitude that the library had survived when so many homes and businesses had been destroyed by the wildfire.

“I’m just over the moon – I’m getting goosebumps – that this is one of the places that survived. It’s like a message from the Creator for me,” she says.

As the library doors opened, patrons were met with balloons, words of welcome and VIPs, including Altadena Library District Director Nikki Winslow, Board of Directors president Mark Mariscal and – my own personal VIPs –  the branch librarians, including that Friend of the Book Pages, Librarian Helen. It was great to see them all.

“This is like my happy place,” says Wilkerson, who noted – like a true library fan – that she was pretty sure she had a book on hold  that had been awaiting pickup since the library had been forced to close. (She, like her interviewer, also had a stack of books that had been waiting months to return to the library.)

The branch was a happy place for pretty much everyone there, including Altadena resident John May, a computational mathematician who’d brought his son Wallace and a friend there to read.

“We are extremely happy that the library is open today,” says May with a laugh. “The fact that school was not open today made it the perfect time to come in.”

“This is definitely a bright spot, and it’s going to be a core part of the rebuilding of the community,” says May about the library. “I know it’s going to be years, but having this community hub survive is important.”

Then we talked about the branch’s excellent graphic novel section. May was reading a copy of Lloyd Alexander’s wonderful fantasy novel “The Book of Three,” which I’d just read a few months back, and I’d grabbed the second volume of Pornsak Pichetshote’s noir detective comic series, “The Good Asian.”

As the morning progressed, things began to get back to normal as patrons arrived to use the computers, pick up and drop off books, or perhaps use some of the innumerable offerings in the Fab Lab, a maker space featuring 3D printing, sound mixing equipment and an embroidery machine.

“The community is going to need us now more than ever,” says Winslow. “We’re a trusted resource.”

Maybe the surest sign that the library was back and functioning normally was seeing a patron named Nancy and her three kids leaving with stacks of reading material– including that of her eldest son, who’d loaded up on titles about wild animals, the Bermuda Triangle and other, as he put it, “creepy stuff.”

“We are really excited to be back,” said Nancy as they headed off with their bounty.

This Saturday, March 8, the library will host its Second Saturday concert from 6:30-8:30 p.m. featuring local band Suave. To register, visit www.altadenalibrary.org/programs.

On Tuesday night, I went down to the Los Angeles Public Library Central Branch to watch Banned!, a free event featuring musical adaptations of suppressed works performed by Vox Femina Los Angeles women’s chorus.

The texts were adapted from books such as Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Juno Dawson’s “This Book Is Gay,” and Alex Gino’s “Melissa,” as well as Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and “The Merchant of Venice.”

While it’s easy enough to stream music these days, you forget how profoundly moving it is to be in the same room as a group of humans using their powerful voices together in song.

Possibly my favorite pieces of the one-hour program were these: “It Is the Silence,” an adaptation from “Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank; “Heather’s Dream,” based on Lesléa Newman’s “Heather Has Two Mommies”; and a song based on Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple” with soloist Angelica Rowell delivering an absolutely stunning performance.

Will an event like this change minds about allowing the rich variety of voices we have to be heard? I don’t know if it’s fair to ask an evening of song to do that in the face of the steady stream of noise on our phones, socials and screens. Maybe creating beauty and thoughtful work out of what’s upsetting and divisive in the world today is enough.

Or maybe art simply provides strength and community during difficult, fractious times, reminding us, like a chorus, we’re better when we can work together and recognize the humanity in each other.

If banning literature is the silencing of voices, the lovely work of these talented women showed the joy, passion and tremendous value that can come from just being open and willing to listen.

Another performance of Banned! is scheduled for March 23 at the Ebell of Los Angeles.

This weekend

My talented colleague Emily St. Martin will be interviewing Mikel Jollett, the author of the acclaimed memoir “Hollywood Park” and frontman of the band Airborne Toxic Event.

The free conversaion will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, in the Padua Room at Hughes Center, 1700 Danbury Road, Claremont.

Not only is Emily a massive book nerd, but she’s also got plenty of experience talking to rock stars, so this should be a terrific event.

Ye tentatively settles with former Donda Academy employees

• March 7, 2025

Ye — former known as Kanye West — and his Donda Academy have tentatively settled employment-related lawsuits brought by former employees of the school.

Attorneys for former Assistant Principal Isaiah Meadows, who filed an individual case, and ex-teachers Cecilia Hailey, Chekarey Byers and Timanii Meeks filed court papers in Los Angeles Superior Court stating that there has been a “conditional” resolution in both lawsuits and that requests for dismissal will be filed by March 31. No terms were divulged.

In his suit filed in July 2023, Meadows stated he was hired in August 2020 as an assistant principal and that he repeatedly complained about safety issues at the Yeezy Christian Academy, the predecessor of the Donda Academy.

Meadows alleged a skylight was not replaced, allowing rain to enter the building, soaking the floor and causing a mold odor, all because Ye did not like glass. Meadows also contended the building had exposed telephone and electrical wiring and that an electrical wire close to where students ate was left exposed.

Meadows also maintained that he had to pay $60,000 of his own money to lease a home in Calabasas near the school because Ye did not fulfill his promise to finance the entire rent payments.

The school became Donda Academy in August 2021. Meadows was employed there as a teacher’s assistant and physical education teacher and also taught faith in the morning, but he was fired a year later, about two weeks before the start of the fall semester, without an explanation, the suit stated.

In their suit brought in April 2023, the teachers said they were forced to work in unsafe working conditions and cope with students bullying each other because of a lack of proper discipline. Hailey and Byers contended that their wages were often short by about $1,800 to $2,700 per pay period. All three said they were fired.

Lakers, with 8 straight wins, feel they can play better

• March 7, 2025

LOS ANGELES — In an 82-game marathon that is the NBA regular season, it isn’t realistic for a team to play up to their standard for every minute of each matchup.

But teams who typically end up finishing the season toward the top of the standings aren’t just the ones that consistently play at a high level. They’re also the ones that find ways to pull out victories even when they don’t feel like they’re playing their best basketball.

The latter is where the Lakers (40-21) have found themselves over their ongoing winning streak, which reached a season-high eight games after Thursday’s thrilling overtime victory over the New York Knicks at Crypto.com Arena.

And Thursday was just the latest example for the Lakers, whose winning streak is their longest since winning nine straight from Dec. 28, 2019, to Jan. 13, 2020.

“I don’t think we played good [on Thursday],” Lakers star Luka Doncic said postgame. “Especially for the first three quarters, I don’t think we played good. So that [shows] the whole group together, everybody cheering for each other and we gave each other a push that we need to win.”

The Lakers struggled on both ends early against the Knicks, who presented the biggest threat to the Lakers’ streak that started with a road win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Feb. 20.

The defensive energy and communication that have become the standard for the Laker over the past several weeks weren’t present early, leading to the Knicks scoring 60 first-half points.

The Lakers also missed 20 of their first 27 3-pointers, contributing to their 13-point deficit in the third quarter and them trailing by 10 midway through the fourth.

But they buckled down defensively in the second half, playing to the standard that led to them having the league’s best defensive rating for nearly two months. They held the Knicks to 15 points in the fourth quarter.

And when they needed them most, their 3-point shots fell, taking advantage of their defensive stops. The Lakers shot 7 for 15 from long range in the fourth and overtime.

“Me and [Jarred Vanderbilt] was just talking about – we probably shouldn’t have won that game,” Austin Reaves said postgame. “I played miserably. Luka and [LeBron James] obviously carried a big weight for us.

“But it was I think midway through the fourth, I think I looked up when we were down six, and it was encouraging we’re down six. It felt like we were down 15. And at that point, I was like, ‘Oh, we have a real chance of winning this game.’ We got a lot of guys that can win us games. And it’s special to not play the way you want to and still come out and win.”

The Lakers are still figuring themselves out just a month after trading for Doncic, who played in his 10th game as a Laker on Thursday, with the Lakers going 8-2 in those games.

Doncic is still rounding into form after being sidelined for 6½ weeks because of a strained left calf before making his Lakers debut on Feb. 10.

But entering their four-game road trip that starts in Boston for a matchup against the longtime rival Celtics on Saturday, the Lakers have climbed from the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference standings to No. 2 in large part because of their ability to simply play hard during their winning streak.

“Big picture, it means a lot to me, frankly,” Redick said. “And it’s a credit to the guys on our team. A few coaches recently, whether it’s been postgame, pregame, after the game, whatever, have said, ‘Man, your team plays really hard.’

“When you get to the playoffs, you have to play hard to have any sort of chance. And our guys’ ability to continually just reach down into the well and give whatever they’ve got on a given night, regardless if the shots are going in, or if there’s defensive mistakes, they just continue to stay the course with their effort. That says a lot about our group.”
