In 2020, the Bond fire menaced all three canyon communities on the edge of the Cleveland National Forest.

Residents were encouraged to leave before 12 p.m. after the Orange County Sheriff’s Department set up hard road closures.

The storm also was drenching much of the region. The Los Angeles National Weather Service said mountain areas were expected to receive between 1 to 2 inches of rain by Thursday. Valley and coastal areas could see as many as 1.5 inches.
