A strong Pacific storm doused Southern California this week, flooding roadways across the Southland and some freeways.The main front of the “bomb cyclone” moved into the area on the night of Jan. 4. Forecasters said the storm moved across the region much faster than anticipated, which “greatly reduced the amount of rainfall through the area,” according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Nonetheless, some parts of Los Angeles County, including Beverly Hills, experienced downpours, with some regions also reporting hail. Scattered power outages also took place in the city.
On Jan. 5, a felled tree shut down eastbound Sunset Boulevard between Beverly and Roxbury Drives in Beverly Hills for a few hours.
