Thanksgiving started out with thunderstorms and heavy rains for southern California. It got so bad that there was reported flooding in a few areas of southern California. The rains however, did solve an ongoing fire problem for California for the time being. Places like long beach in California received up to 2.17 inches of rain which now surpassed the previous record of 1.93 inches back in 1970. This storm was very problematic for travel and many families had to cancel their thanksgiving plans as the roads were completely overflowing with water . Other problems included icy roads closer to the mountains cause cars to skid off the road on turns.

 The problems did not stop after the thanksgiving break as another storm followed up to add on more rain and caused problems for another week. These 2 storms combined to put an end to the fire season in California, however, started a new season of a wet winter.
