In the Southland mountains, as much as 3-4 inches fell. This rain is highly unusual for mid-July.

The entire rainfall from the tropical storm (7-day totals) is depicted below.

In most areas, the rain was extremely welcome. It did come at some cost, however. There were people injured in a lightning strike, a bridge on Interstate 10 washed out and there were several railroad washouts.

  1. Should help with the fire situation (although that usually peaks in the early Fall with the offshore flow and Santa Ana winds). They still need a 200 to 300% of normal rainy/snowy season to start to recover, right?
