Rain floods Los Angeles area and triggers closures
An overnight storm drenched Southern California, flooding freeways and prompting the closure of a major route to LAX. The system moved from San Luis Obispo County into Los Angeles, with heavy rains causing mud flows in Duarte, a brush-fire area, and the closure of Valley View Elementary. One person died in a big rig crash on the transition road between the 105 and 710 freeways in Paramount. California Highway Patrol logged 165 crashes in LA County from 7 p.m. to midnight, far above the 54 recorded last week.

U.S. to reveal number of Americans swept in online surveillance
Lawmakers say the U S intelligence community will publicly disclose an estimate of how many Americans have electronic communications collected under Section 702. The move aims to inform debate on reauthorization of the program, known as Prism and Upstream, set to expire year end 2017. The letter, signed by 11 House Judiciary members, notes briefing with Clapper and NSA officials and underscores concerns if disclosure is delayed. The programs target foreign communications but incidentally collect U S data, with Section 702 expiring Dec 31 2017 unless Congress acts.
