As Los Angeles grapples with a huge homelessness problem, El Nino weather patterns are likely to bring torrential downpours in coming months and add to the misery of the thousands of people who sleep on the city's streets. John Kump, an outreach program manager at the charity People Assisting the Homeless said "It is a crisis in LA, and I don't think people realize the magnitude of it." Los Angeles' homeless population is estimated at about 44,000, with many of them concentrated in a bleak and chaotic square-mile patch of downtown known as Skid Row. The last two El Ninos, in the winters of 1982-83 and 1997-98, each walloped Los Angeles with more than 30 inches of rain, double the amount that the city normally receives each year. http://bit.ly/1TcyEAN http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
