This is a short video clip showing downtown Los Angeles. Basically a costal city of four million people where rain is light, this holiday season torrential rains hammered the region. The benefit was the rains cleaned the air as you can see from this footage.

The video is shot at my home in West Adams (4 miles southwest of downtown) from my drone. In the immediate foreground you see the San Gabriel mountainside which is only about 30 minutes from downtown. Looking further behind the tall buildings you notice the recently created snow-capped mountains which are located in Mt. Baldy. Altough it looks close and showcases the diversity and proximity of the city, it is less than 2 hours from downtown.
