Flood Watch Issued for City of Orange Ahead of Approaching Pacific Storm
A Flood Watch is now in effect for the City of Orange as a strong Pacific storm is forecast to bring significant rainfall from late Friday night through Saturday evening. Residents living in flood-prone zones such as near creeks, low-lying streets, and older drainage networks are being urged to prepare for run-off, flooded roadways, and potential power disruptions.
Officials are advising households to clear gutters and drains, secure outdoor items, avoid driving through flooded crossings, and stay updated on the latest weather alerts. With heavy downpours expected to overload canals and urban drainage systems, vigilance is key—especially in neighborhoods at risk for mud-flows or storm-generated debris.
