LOS ANGELES -- The biggest storm of the winter walloped Southern California on Thursday, but by Friday morning conditions were improving as the storm subsided.
The storm forced the closure of Pacific Coast Highway, damaged homes and vehicles and brought with it "life-threatening" debris flows just a month after fierce Santa Ana winds propelled a firestorm across L.A. County.
