LOS ANGELES—Strong Santa Ana winds continue to batter much of Southern California Oct. 31, heightening the risk of wildfires and power outages and prompting the city of Los Angeles to enact parking restrictions in fire-prone areas.

The parking restrictions took effect at 8 a.m. Oct. 29, and are expected to remain in place until at least 8 a.m. Oct. 31. The restrictions are designed to keep streets clear to ensure fire personnel can reach brush fires, and ensure residents can safely evacuate if needed.
