IMPORTANT. 

The National Weather Service says that the winds in the LA area from Tuesday through Wednesday necessitate a designation of a “Particularly Dangerous Situation.”

This is a very specific designation the National Weather Service uses for weather events that pose an especially serious threat to life and property.

To illustrate how serious this designation is, according to The New York Times, the National Weather Service has only issued this designation for the LA area a total of five times…in history.

The last time was early last week, before the Palisades and Eaton fires.
