I don't want to be an alarmist, but we could see the first significant rain of the season in October! This Tuesday night! How strange is that!

The County has had very little time to prepare for an event like this. Those in La Vina and the Meadows could experience significant mudslides and debris flows. If this storm develops as expected, we could be in for a heck of an event.

 

I strongly encourage all Altadena residents to keep up-to-date on the approaching storm. Visit: www.weatherunderground.com and www.noaa.gov for the latest information.

 

Now is the time to prepare!
