Los Angeles has already fixed more than 4,000 potholes this winter

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The city of Los Angeles has fixed more than 4,000 potholes after this winter's heavy storms and officials are preparing for more damage from this week's new round of rain.

The ground is already well saturated, so additional rainfall is expected to open up more cracks and holes in the city's streets, in addition to the possibility of mudslides and power outages.
