Slow Down, Pay Attention When Driving In The Rain: Seal Beach

Drivers were reminded to watch the road & keep both hands on the wheel when navigating rain-slickened roads. Wet weather is sticking around.

SEAL BEACH, CA — We've all been watching the skies and the radar as the rain has approached Orange County. Now, with stormy weather predicted over much of the next ten days, local law enforcement reminded drivers to slow down and pay attention when you are driving wet streets.

"It feels like a deja vu, but everyone needs to slow your speed and watch for localized flooding," Aliso Viejo police services said in a recent Tweet.

In Seal Beach, the city has replenished all sandbag supplies. Residents have been asked to monitor the surf and conditions, and take necessary steps to protect their homes and property.

Trabuco Canyon area residents were allowed 50 sandbags each, thanks to the Orange County Department of Public Works. Sandbag distribution was to take place until 6 p.m. Wednesday, and on Thursday from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Santiago Canyon Road and Modjeska Canyon Road lot.
