Celebrity homes are under siege and three people were killed as the most powerful storms to batter southern California in years brought major flooding, power outages, and multiple toppled trees by heavy winds on Friday.
A tree smashed through Ireland Baldwin’s backyard yesterday, blocking the model’s driveway and damaging a fence.
‘So this is my drive way… anyone expecting me to get anywhere this weekend it’s not happening! Thanks for understanding,’ the 21-year-old said in an Instagram post.
More than 131,000 people were left without power yesterday night, officials said.
A passenger was killed in a four-car crash in San Diego after the vehicle hydroplaned on Interstate 15 yesterday.
Los Angeles fire officials said a 55-year-old man died in hospital after he was electrocuted when a tree downed power lines and fell on a car in Sherman Oaks on Friday afternoon.
Another man drowned in Victorville later in the evening when his silver Mercedes was overtaken by a flash flood.
In the Los Angeles Sun Valley, rescue crews had to resort to generators to pump water off the road due to major flooding causing huge traffic delays.
Firefighters had to use ropes and inflatable boats to rescue seven people and two dogs from the Sepulveda basin area of the Los Angeles River, including one with non-life threatening injuries.
A 75-foot tree fell onto an apartment building near UCLA, narrowly missing someone who was in bed. Authorities say four of the six apartments have been declared unsafe to enter, and 16 college students have been evacuated.
