Impact & Risks

The storm has caused significant disruptions in Southern California, with reports of damage at the San Clemente Golf Course. Flash flood warnings were issued for eastern Los Angeles County, and severe thunderstorms created hazardous conditions across the region. The potential tornado adds to the risks, particularly in areas already affected by recent wildfires, such as San Clemente, where six homes were damaged or destroyed last week. Residents in the region are advised to remain vigilant as scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms could still occur.
