Winter storm hits coastal areas in SoCal
The winds and rain kept people away from the beaches in Manhattan Beach on Friday.
"Born and raised here in the South Bay, so yea, we don't get a lot of this," said Mark Mattis, lives in Manhattan Beach.
The Manhattan Beach Pier was completely empty as rain poured down in the area. Whether you had an umbrella, or not, the wet weather was a struggle for many.
"I'm really over it. I'm honestly not a rain person so I'm from Southern California so..um, not for me!" said Michelle Salazar, lives in South Bay.
But, the rain didn't seem to bother everyone in the area.
"It's been beautiful. Exactly what I expecting with the weather when come to L.A." said Brian Powers, who is originally from Massachusetts.
"I think the rain is good. We need it. I just hope my backyard does not flood," said a local resident.
As the winter storm continues, four severe weather alerts have been issued for South Bay for floods, high surf and powerful winds.
