Here's what's happening today:
More than 600 Torrance and Lomita businesses and residents were without electricity Sunday when high winds pushed a giant tree into power lines. Winds were supposed to continue today, but so far, it looks pretty mild out there.
When household budgets get tight, entertainment is one of the first luxuries to go. Good thing the library is free! Torrance libraries this year have had record-breaking checkout rates -- a nearly 9 percent increase over last year.
As a family scattered soil over their 85-year-old matriarch's casket in the Historic Wilmington Cemetery, they noticed bones and slivers of wooden coffins mixed in the dirt. In the wake of the discovery, the county's oldest cemetery have stopped selling plots until an audit can be conducted.
Forget the usual carpool. Chase Pinkerton, a second-grader at Manhattan Beach's Pennecamp Elementary, got the ride of a lifetime last week when the city firefighters dropped him off at school in a bright red fire truck. With lights flashing and sirens blazing, the coolest ride ever was a prize for making one of the best fire escape routes in town. Check out pictures here.
