Los Angeles County Fire Rescue and Search and Rescue teams were on the San Gabriel River Monday evening, searching for people seen on an island. The river was full and fast due to the ongoing storm. The teams were trying to reach people one by one, taking at least three people out by air while others were coming out on foot. They rescued eight people in total, firefighters said. The risk of drowning was higher due to the rushing water, firefighters said. The LA River, which was also full and fast, was home to a homeless population of six children under bridges soaked with water.
