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.
