Another storm on the way: More rain to douse San Diego in coming days

By Thomas A. Smith

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – San Diego city officials breathed a sign of relief following lighter-than-anticipated rains that fell across the area, but another stronger storm is expected to arrive Sunday, a week after historically heavy downpours left roadways, commercial districts and residential neighborhoods underwater across the region.

A fast-moving Pacific storm brought more widespread winter rainfall, blustery conditions and concerns about flooding to the San Diego area Thursday. But the system was far less severe than the one that hit last week.

“Last week was a once in a thousand years storm, today was a once in 10 years storm,” San Diego Fire-Rescue Chief Colin Stowell said during a late-afternoon news conference. “The call volume was very manageable.”

Lots of people in low lying areas had their houses flooded. Several of LWJ’s dog friends lost a lot of household goods, furniture, etc. A lot of damage was caused by storm drains not working due to municipal neglect.
