Los Angeles River banks to be raised for El Nino

Hello, everybody. Have some news.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin work next week to temporarily raise the banks along nearly three miles of the Los Angeles River to improve flood protection during El Nino storms, officials announced Friday, just days after the watercourse roared to life during heavy rains.

Certainly noteworthy, I guess.

It's noteworthy to me because I live right on the coast near L.A.!

Last thing I need right now is flooding, so I'm glad they're taking precautions. Tax dollars doing some good.
