Good Nite LA, Thursday 10/22/2026

We start with this breaking news. A suspect is shot by Monterey Park Police. Happened around 6 tonight near Eastern Avenue and the 60 freeway. Told that person was taken to a hospital. Video from the Citizen app shows the scene. We've reached out to police and are awaiting additional information. With that, welcome to the Good Night LA. I'm Christine Devine. Now to the wild weather hitting Southern California all day today from very strong winds and flooding and rain. We got hit with quite a punch. We go live to Fox 11's Christy Fajardo in Hollywood with a roundup. Christy. Yeah, Christine, the tree here behind me will not fit in a selfie. That is why some people have actually asked Mike behind the camera to take their photo because people are doing a double take when they see this tree. One person even told us they thought it was a Halloween prop. It's not. It's real. It came down at about two o'clock and luckily it did not topple the other way onto Western Avenue and it did not topple onto this bus shelter. Instead, it fell on a parked car with no one inside. We're told someone was in the car right next to it, which had a lot less damage, but that person was not hurt. It's a bad thing to come out to. It's a site so unbelievable. Passersby use it as a photo op a giant tree on top of two cars in the parking lot of Smart and Final on Western and Romaine. A witness tells us off camera there was No wind, no rain, no sound, and no warning when the trees suddenly leaned, then toppled. I just got my car towed, and I realized, like, my luck isn't that bad, because what is this, you know? It's crazy. It's shocking. I believe it's for rain and the trees. Look at that mess. In San Clemente, a former mayor pulled out his cell phone. And there was just this path that it just carved right through the course. Stunned by the damage left behind by what the National Weather Service says may have looked like a tornado, but was actually straight-line winds. And the town was definitely battered by powerful gusts and bouts of rain, resulting in the sound of rushing water and drivers trying to navigate flooded roads. In the San Bernardino Mountains, the rain came down so hard, windshields couldn't work fast enough. And this was the scene in Calabasas during a burst of heavy rain. and if you were in the valley overnight you might have seen it too and the tree is still blocking the sidewalk we have not seen any city crews but we were told that the owner of the Mazda called his insurance company and was told that they cannot come out to remove the tree for several more days and there is another concern because that same type of tree is all around this block and I want to show you because I went to the roots and I got this from the tree it does not feel like wood at all. In fact, it feels like foam and it just crumbles. And people around here are worried that other trees could be in a similar state and could also topple. Live in East Hollywood, I'm Christy Pujardo. Let's send it back to you. Good night, LA weather is sponsored by the law offices of Larry H. Parker. Good evening, everybody. Meteorologist Markina Brown with you.
