No Major Problems Reported In Brush Fire Burn Zones From Thanksgiving Week Storm

The storm system which passed through the Central and South Coasts over the Thanksgiving holiday didn’t cause in major problems in brush fire burn zones.

Public safety officials kept a close eye on the storm because of concern about potentially flooding, and debris flow issues in the Thomas, Hill, and Woolsey brush fire burn zones.

However, the storm wasn’t strong enough to trigger weather warnings or watches.

La Conchita was the wettest spot in Ventura County, with just over an inch of rain. Camarillo had about a third of an inch, and Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village each recorded about a quarter of an inch of rain.

In Santa Barbara County, Goleta had close to an inch, and Montecito about eight tenths of an inch of rain.

Two Los Angeles County communities hit by the Woolsey Fire, Point Dume and Agoura Hills, recorded significant rainfall. Point Dume had 1.14 inches of rain, and Agoura Hills about three quarters of an inch.
