if you must go outside now we have team coverage of this storm . Chelsea Edwards is in LA or LA Tuna Canyon, where evacuation orders are in effect. Matthew Seedorf is in the San Fernando Valley, where street flooding has caused problems for drivers. But we begin with meteorologist Jonathan Novak. Jonathan, Susan, the word you used, relentless is key here because this rain will be falling all night in the same areas that it has been. It's going to hardly move. And that means a lot of flash flooding, which we've already seen plenty of in Santa Barbara, Ventura and now L.A. counties. This flash flood warning goes until Monday at at midnight, but we're going to still have through the commute in the morning, plenty of rain to go, flooding, debris flows. We've seen power outages and power poles and tree limbs down this is what you're looking at here. These are rainfall rates. So per hour we're getting for instance an inch per hour for the rainfall rates in the Ventura County area. This is going to go on all night. It's already been going on for several hours, as you know. And so that means that we're going to add per hour another inch in many of these areas. You can see in Ventura County and by South Mountain where there's a burn scar, it is a harrowing situation because of course, there's that risk of debris flows and mudflows and those hillsides giving way that certainly is a big risk going into the overnight time and into tomorrow morning. Plenty of rain in the foothills of L.A. County and into the Inland Empire, where it has been nonstop, moderate to heavy rainfall and now snow falling in Big Bear as the atmospheric river moves to the east. What you're looking at here, it looks like a lot. And it is these are all storm reports. These are gusts of 74. Even 94 mile per hour wind gusts. That one in the Frazier Park area. Flash floods being reported in Culver City, where a foot of water has been reported in the roadways. Flood watches are in effect. They go until Tuesday at 4 p.m. and that is a long time to have continued rainfall. Let me show you what I'm talking about as we go in through tonight. Notice the shower activity, the heavy rain, the red areas in the foothills continues on into the evening time and into tomorrow morning. Now, as we bring this through time, most of the rain is going to stay where I've put these two yellow lines in the same channel all the way until Monday afternoon and evening. That is a lot of rain in the same spot. And Susan folks, we could see upwards of 8 or 9in accumulate in many places in L.A. County, as well as Ventura County and San Bernardino County. I'm going to detail what happens after Monday night and Tuesday. We get a break. At some point, details are in the seven day outlook a little later on. Back to you, Jonathan. Thank you. Well, a big area of concern tonight is La Tuna Canyon in Sun Valley. That's where a mandatory evacuation order is. In effect a large swath of La Tuna Canyon Road is in a potential danger zone. The Horse haven to the north, Martindale to the east, Primm Roads to the south, and ledge to the west. Fox Eleven's Chelsea Edwards continues our team coverage live from Sun Valley, Chelsea, Susan, this rain has just been relentless. We're on the western edge of that mandatory evacuation zone right off of La Tuna Canyon Road. You can see that street blocked off. Only residents are being allowed to go up there. Now, we did talk to a lot of people who have heeded those evacuation orders. Others though, say they're staying put. When we get rains, the foothills here gather it so it does flood. Um, we do see some mud come down the streets from Sean Eschbach has lived off La Tuna Canyon Road since the early 1980s, and has been through his share of natural disasters. But he and his family are staying put in this storm, even though their home is in the mandatory evacuation zone. What they don't want is have the streets full of mud and then have fire rescue trying to come up here to help somebody that has some kind of underlying health condition. His is one of the 50 properties around La Tuna Canyon Road between Ledge and Martindale Avenues that officials warn could be in danger. I know our community is very familiar with these events. They happen with unfortunate regularity, but the additional rainfall that is anticipated certainly presents a greater concern than we've ever experienced before. If you are in this area and have not yet done so, please evacuate it immediately. Sandbags were stacked in front of homes on surrounding streets as pouring rain created rivers and pools in the area. Temporary emergency shelters have been set up for evacuees at the Sunland Senior Citizen Center on Fenwick Street and at the Lakeview Terrace Recreation Center on Foothill Boulevard. Horses and large animals can be taken to the Hansen Dam Horse Park and the LA Equestrian Center in Burbank. Law enforcement blocked the road leading into the evacuation zone , only letting residents through and at their own risk anytime a mudslide, there could be debris coming down the road and I understand now why they are not letting people go up, Anthony Truglia lives just outside the evacuation orders but is still ready to leave. My car is ready to go. I got a Jeep, so I'm not worried about that. It's four wheel drive. They said that you know, if you leave, we're there and they're not going to let you back in. And so we just decided we'd stick around. All stocked up. You got everything you need. 100. Got plenty of firewood and tons of movies. So we're good. Now. Officials are saying no matter where you are in the Southland, it is a good idea to be prepared. That means stocking up on water, food, making sure you have the right medications in case you need them, and also keeping your devices charged just in case there is a power outage in your area. At least you'll be able to still get those updates as the storm progresses. Reporting live from Sun Valley. I'm Chelsea Edwards, Susan, I'll send it back to you. Chelsea thank you very much. And across L.A. County, people were advised to stay off the road and just stay home during the storm, many people took that advice. But of course, there are always exceptions. Matthew Seedorf is live with that story from Van Nuys. Matthew. Well, Susan, it is a cold, miserable, wet night to be outside. And this really could be just the beginning. A powerful storm Sunday slamming Southern California with heavy rain, cars plowing through high water like boats in West L.A. others flipped and crushed crashes backing up traffic across the area. What do you think of the weather today? It's cold, man. It's cold and wet and not not not used to it. Sunny California. Dangerous driving conditions in Tarzana, L.A. Firefighters pulling people from cars floating in 2 to 3ft of water. Flash flood warnings Sunday issued miles northwest of Santa Barbara to beyond Long Beach. It's pretty hectic, you know, it's the wind is making it worse and a lot of flooding. And that's like the bigger problem. Too strong winds toppling a tree on top of a car in North Hollywood. Another neighbor just missing a truck in Encino. It's bad. You got to watch out with with a lot of puddles. There's random puddles. You got to watch out with hydroplaning. Uh, if you drive a lowered car, like like we'd be careful because you will spin out and just be careful because when it rains, people forget how to drive day one of what could be three long days of cold, wet weather across Los Angeles, possibly historic rainfall and dangerous flooding. Major concerns. You got to be a lot more careful visibility gets really bad on the windshield. It's like hard to wipe them down and, um. Yeah, you just got to drive. Careful You can't really see too far ahead. Now, Susan, I got to show you this because this is what's happening now on the roadways. This is just a drain underneath covering at a gas station. You can see it just can't keep up with all of this rain. That's falling from the sky. And that's exactly what's happening on the roads across the L.A. area. Definitely be careful if you're out driving. We're live in Van Nuys tonight. Matthew Seedorf, Fox 11 news, an ad. This is the scene tonight in La Habra at an apartment complex on Las Lomas Drive, a retaining wall collapsed onto a parking area, damaging two cars. But the bigger concern is the building at the top of that hill. So far, just the carport and parking area have been red tagged, but they are keeping an eye on that building at the top of the hill. And now to Santa Barbara County. That's where powerful winds knocked down several eucalyptus trees in Goleta. This is on Storke Road, not far from UC Santa Barbara, where emergency crews shut down the street to clean up the mess. Strong winds across Santa Barbara County have also toppled power lines and then this. Anybody lose a sailboat? This boat was found washed up on the beach in Santa Barbara. No one was aboard the boat. And officials aren't sure where it came from. It's just one of several boats reported washed up along the Central Coast during the storm. Two other evacuation orders have been issued, one for the owners fire burn area on Santa Maria Road in Topanga Canyon, and the second in the Agua Fire area along Soledad Canyon Road east of Agua Dulce. Canyon Road, that is. The evacuation orders are in effect through 6 p.m. Tuesday. They Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, says the L.A. Unified School District, the second largest in the nation, will be open for classes tomorrow. However, vandals elementary school in the Sun Valley area will be shut down, with students and staff going to nearby Glenwood Elementary School instead. That is close to that evacuation zone. L.A. zoo will be closed tomorrow, as well as all Los Angeles County parks, nature centers and trails. New video tonight of a daring swiftwater rescue in Ventura. Firefighters used rope and an aerial ladder to pull that victim to safety. It happened off highway 101. The person reportedly got trapped in the riverbed with water rising on both sides
