warning from her. Marla Alex, L.A. County Board chair Supervisor Lindsey Horvath is at the forefront of the storm's emergency response. She joined us tonight on the Fox 11 News at six and cautioned against leaving your home. If you don't have to. In some parts of my district in the Santa Monica mountains and Bel Air and Woodland Hills, more than ten inches of rain and counting, we are breaking records left and right. We are seeing in some of our canyon roads that there are falling rocks. So even if the canyon road is open in, be on high alert. Be careful and if you can avoid the canyons, please do so.

Now, when they updated us this morning at 11:00, it was 815 million gallons captured. Then, as of for 1.3 billion. So significantly more every hour. Yeah, especially with that much rainfall coming down. But we also asked her, how much are we not capturing? What's the percentage? There wasn't a clear answer to that.
