More rain is expected Monday after the Southland saw record rainfall Saturday, leading to flooded streets and emergencies ranging from the rescue of a woman hanging onto a tree in a Laguna Hills creek to multiple cars being crushed by a fallen tree in a Woodland Hills parking lot.

Residents living close to the Princes Freeway in Werribee have expressed disappointment that noise barriers have not been installed as part of the Duncans Road interchange upgrade.
The state government recently announced completion of the interchange project, under the $1.8 billion Western Roads Upgrade.
However, Star Weekly published an article last year, in which a resident called for noise walls to be installed along a section of the freeway near Christina Court and surrounding streets.
The resident said “noise pollution” coming from the freeway was causing “health issues” and “mental fatigue” for him and others in the area.
