The back-to-back storms that hit over the weekend produced more rain than anticipated in many areas and winds gusting upwards of 30 mph at the coast and 70 mph inland
San Diego County scrambled Monday to cope with water rescues, debris flows, flooding, downed trees and closed roads that arose from back-to-back storms that turned out to be stronger than anticipated.
The storm also triggered a debris flow along State Road 78 near Julian early Monday, blocking both lanes of traffic, the National Weather Service said. Flooding also was a factor in the closure of a portion of Discovery Street in San Marcos, Harmony Grove Road in Escondido and Central Avenue near Bonita. Flooding also closed part of a popular horse trail in Carmel Valley.
“The rivers will gradually decrease this evening and tonight. River Flood Warnings remain in effect through midnight for both of these rivers.” Through 9:18 a.m Monday, the two storms had dropped 10.62 inches of rain on Palomar Mountain, 7.31 inches at Lake Cuyamaca, 7.16 inches at Lake Henshaw, 6.32 inches at Otay Mountain, 6.08 inches at Mount Laguna, 5.72 inches at Lake Wohlford, 5.30 inches at Escondido, 4.93 inches at Valley Center, 4.70 inches at Alpine, 4.51 inches at Ramona, 4.41 inches at Fallbrook, 4.37 inches at Campo, 4.25 inches at La Mesa, 4.17 inches at Barona and Cameron, 4.02 inches at San Diego Country Estates.
