GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!
Hundreds of homes in La Canada Flintridge are under "mandatory evacuation orders" for Wednesday morning as another powerful storm gets ready to slam into the Southland.

Los Angeles County Fire officials said they will issue mandatory evacuation orders for about 587 homes in flood-prone foothill areas beginning as early as 9 a.m. Wednesday in anticipation of the next storm that is already beginning to start come down from the cloudy skies.

La Canada Flintridge residents could be kept out of their homes until Sunday or Monday according to officials.

LA County officials say they will alert residents via a reverse 9-1-1 telephone system when it is time to go, but don't wait to the last minute.  Be perpared to leave tonight.

Sheriff's deputies will also go door-to-door in neighborhoods at risk of heavy mud flows.

Evacuation Center will be available at the La Canada HS Gymnasium located at 4463 Oak Grove Drive.

The Pasadena Humane Society will be at the school to help care for pets.

Discounted Hotel Rates are available at the Pasadena Courtyard by Marriott (626-403-7600) and the Burbank Residence Inn by Marriot (818-260-8787) hotels.  

Hey, if you wanna escape the madness of LCF altogether, try evacuating to the amazing Cerritos Sheraton Hotel here off the 91 Freeway at Civic Center Drive.  GREAT GREAT accomodations and the food is incredible!!

Flash flood watches are now in effect for the fire burned hillsides that now is nothing more than a black sooted earth cover .

Tell me what you think??  Are you being evacuated tonight?
