Flash Floods Inundate San Diego As Heavy Rains Sweep Through Much Of US [1]

"SAN DIEGO — Flash floods inundated homes and overturned cars in San Diego on Monday as torrential rain swept through a large swath of the U.S., toppling trees and overflowing streets across California.

Early morning flooding hit the town of Guerneville, north of San Francisco, where a creek overflowed after more than 4 inches (10 cm) of rain fell in 24 hours. The local school district canceled classes for the day.

Later, the weather system unleashed a severe punch on the south end of the state in the second major rain event of the winter."

Denis Poroy and Christopher Weber report for the Associated Press January 22, 2024. [2]
