I was born and raised in LA, and with that, comes an acute familiarity with a certain slice of baked goodness — the LAUSD coffee cake. This is truly a nostalgic ode to a confectionary slice of heaven a select few know about. My latest for @KCRW: https://t.co/ucSD6O8Iae

Showers quickly developing from Santa Monica to San Fernando. Conditions can rapidly deteriorate. If you hear thunder or see lightning, seek shelter until the storm passed. Be prepared for gusty winds. #cawx

A Tsunami Advisory has been issued, replacing the Tsunami Watch. The tsunami should arrive near 1AM tonight. If you are located in the coastal area, move off the beach & out of harbors & marinas. Do not go to the coast to watch. Be alert to instructions from local EM officials.

[Danielle Chiriguayo @bigdanimals]

The Downtown LA area under tonight’s curfew, starting at 8pm and ending at 6am tomorrow morning (06/11), per @MayorOfLA.

[Danielle Chiriguayo @bigdanimals]

A limited curfew will be in place tonight from 8pm to 6am in one square mile area of Downtown LA per @MayorOfLA. Mayor Karen Bass says tomorrow she’ll evaluate on curfew continuation, but expects it to last several days.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

I issued a curfew starting tonight at 8pm for Downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors who are taking advantage of the President's chaotic escalation.

If you do not live or work in Downtown L.A., avoid the area.

Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted.

[Danielle Chiriguayo @bigdanimals]

Says credentialed media, Downtown LA residents, unhoused folks are exempt.
