California Rainfall: Sinkholes, Mudslides Reported; Flooding Hits San Diego Area

The drought-parched state of California definitely needed a soaking rain event, but all this precipitation has also had negative consequences.
Mudslides, rockslides and sinkholes have all been reported following days of rainfall across the state, leaving some streets flooded and residents in wildfire-scarred areas reaching for sandbags. While much of the event is ending, some areas are still expected to see more rain before the system leaves California.
 Flooded streets were also observed in parts of San Mateo, San Francisco, Alameda and Santa Clara counties Tuesday morning, according to National Weather Service storm reports. Through Wednesday afternoon, San Francisco International Airport had reported 3.71 inches of rain since Sunday, which was more than the hub recorded in all of 2013. The airport received just 3.38 inches of rain last year, according to local records.
