Storm Cleanup, Housing Plan and Shooting Investigation Lead Anaheim Headlines
Anaheim, CA – March 10, 2026 – Storm cleanup continues as council advances housing plan and police investigate weekend shooting amid power outages.
Anaheim is juggling storm recovery, housing decisions and a police investigation as the city moves through a busy start to the week.
Storm Cleanup Continues Across the City
City crews are still clearing debris and addressing downed tree limbs after heavy rain and gusty winds swept through Anaheim over the weekend. Public Works officials said several neighborhoods experienced localized street flooding and scattered power outages.
Residents are being urged to report blocked storm drains and avoid parking under damaged trees while cleanup continues. The city expects most remaining debris removal to wrap up by midweek, though repairs to a handful of traffic signals may take longer.
Council Advances Major Housing Proposal
At its latest meeting, the Anaheim City Council voted to move forward with a proposed housing development near a key transit corridor. The project would add several hundred residential units, including a portion designated as affordable housing.
Supporters say the development is a step toward easing local housing pressure and meeting state mandates. Some neighbors voiced concerns about traffic and parking impacts, but the proposal now heads into the next phase of planning and environmental review.
Police Investigate Weekend Shooting
Anaheim police are investigating a weekend shooting that left one person hospitalized. Officers responded to reports of gunfire late Saturday night in a residential area. The victim is expected to survive, according to authorities.
Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage and asking anyone with information to come forward. No arrests had been announced as of Tuesday morning.
