San Diego’s Storms Strong For 2017

When it comes to weather, we can all be a bit cranky overall. Certainly, it does change depending on what we are used to, which is why for the normally temperate Southern California region, things seem quite strange at the moment. Storms have created the kind of temperature ranges and precipitation that the region is not normally used to:

A river of moisture that arose in the western Pacific shot across the ocean toward Ventura and Los Angeles counties, then suddenly angled south into Orange and San Diego counties, drenching the region with heavy rains.

The storm caused sinkholes across Southern California. One swallowed two cars in Los Angeles. Another swallowed a fire truck in San Bernardino County.

By early Saturday, coastal San Diego County had recorded some of the region’s highest rainfall, notably La Jolla, which got 2.07” of precipitation. Escondido received 1.60” and Del Mar and Oceanside got 1.53”. The downpour caused the San Diego and Santa Margarita rivers to surge to life, as well as the marshlands that open onto Torrey Pines State Beach. It was littered with debris early Saturday.

"We haven't really seen this kind of moisture and storm this late in February in San Diego," says All Clear owner/operator Glen Markstrom. "Obviously, this is good for our business, and we have been able to help out in a lot more storm situations than we normally would have." (more…)
