Los Angeles, Jumada II 14, 1439, Mar 2, 2018, SPA -- Deputies went door-to-door ordering residents to evacuate from coastal Southern California neighborhoods ahead of a powerful winter storm sweeping in Friday after bringing heavy snow and whiteout conditions to northern mountains and steady rain elsewhere. As many as 30,000 people were under evacuation orders in foothills of Santa Barbara County, which were stripped bare by recent wildfires, AP reported. Sheriff Bill Brown said forecasters weren't certain how intense the storm would be when it arrives in Southern California in the early hours of Friday. However, modeling indicates "there is risk to life and property and risk of disruption to critical services," he warned. --SPA 13:29 LOCAL TIME 10:29 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w631102
