by Orange County will have a rainy Christmas holiday weekend with intermittent periods of heavy rain and possible flooding, the National Weather Service says.
Heavy rains are likely to fill the urban streams, sending water into neighborhoods of Orange County, according to NWS preliminary reports. One week ago during the county’s last big rain event, both burn-scar areas and new housing developments across Orange County were overcome with flooding and rushing rainwater.
Orange County’s Public Works department says they have distributed about 10,000 sandbags to canyon residents over the past several days.
EVACUATION WARNING AHEAD OF STORM:
Residents of the Bond fire burn area were told to prepare for potential evacuation as the storm arrives late Thursday, and continues through the weekend.
