A massive water main break has turned West Hollywood streets into rivers, with dramatic footage showing raging waters slamming into parked cars.
Sunset Boulevard, a major artery in the city, is experiencing some of the worst flooding, promising to worsen already heavy Los Angeles traffic.
One person who attempted to walk through the current was temporarily swept away, underscoring the danger.
A firefighter told FOX11 that while water main breaks are not uncommon on that stretch due to old infrastructure, a rupture of this magnitude is rare.
The flooding has also affected Dialog Cafe, a popular brunch spot frequented by celebrities like Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and Olivia Rodrigo, with water pooling out front.
A large hole has opened at a busy intersection, signaling a major construction project ahead.
