A Southwest plane skidded off a wet runway as it landed during heavy rain at Hollywood Burbank Airport north of Los Angeles.
The Federal Aviation Administration says no injuries were reported during the landing Thursday as a powerful fall storm swept through the region.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says the plane came to a stop in a graded area designed to slow aircraft that overshoot the runway.
Meanwhile snow has forced the closure of Interstate 5 in the Grapevine area between LA and the San Joaquin Valley. Transportation officials say vehicles were sliding in lanes along the key north-south route.
Closer to sea level, the system dumped rain that flooded highways and caused nightmare traffic conditions for commuters.
