Inland Empire

The Inland Empire has strong teams besides Corona.

Elena, an unauthorized Mexican immigrant who has lived in the Inland Empire for nearly two decades, said she and her husband are among those who have decided to self-deport.

The San Jacinto fault zone is quite dangerous in its own right — cutting right through the heart of the Inland Empire, underneath many highly populated areas.

One particular dangerous spot is the Inland Empire, where brick buildings — a hazard seemed so dangerous that L.A. ordered them fixed or demolished decades ago — are still a threat, despite the fault zones lying underneath the region.

Other inland valleys across Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties, as well as the Inland Empire, can expect highs in the low 90s Thursday and Friday, before a slight cooldown begins Saturday.
