A storm system headed for S California will bring widespread rain to the area late tonight thru Thursday. There is a chance of thunderstorms with potential for heavy downpours, lightning, strong wind gusts and a very small chance of a brief tornado. #CAwx
🚨Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail. 🔋🔥

🚨Use the cord and charger that came with your device or ones approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. 📱🔥

🚨📱 Battery warning signs? Stop using the device if it smells strange, feels hot, makes popping noises, changes shape/color, or smokes. If safe, move it away from anything that can burn. Damaged batteries can cause fires. 🔥
