Southern California is starting the New Year by drying out from a storm that delivered heavy rainfall to the region, causing localized street flooding and leading to several rescues.
In the Los Angeles area, the storm dumped more than 2 inches of rain in the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and many areas of metro LA, including Hollywood and Beverly Hills, according to the National Weather Service.
Significantly higher totals were reported along California’s Central Coast with San Luis Obispo and Cambria receiving more than 4” of rain. Some mountain areas were inundated by more than 5” of rainfall over 24 hours.
In San Bernardino County, a family of three needed to be rescued when they tried to cross rain-swollen Lytle Creek in their Jeep but became stuck and partially submerged.
