Widespread areas of Los Angeles experienced flooding and heavy rainfall on Sunday as a winter storm moved through the area, breaking a 97-year-old record for rainfall in one day.
Though the day started clear and bright, with a golden sunrise illuminating the skies, raindrops began falling by midday β and by nightfall, the drizzle had become a deluge.
The Los Angeles Times reported:
Damage reports piled up late Sunday as a slow-moving storm system steadily pummeled Southern California, and downtown L.A. broke a 97-year-old rainfall record.
In Studio City, a debris flow sent mud and other objects flowing down the 11900 block of Lockridge Road, damaging at least two homes, Los Angeles firefighters said. All nine homes on Lockridge Road were evacuated, including pets, βin case further soil instability causes another flow,β firefighters said. There were no injuries. Sixteen residents were displaced.

On Sunday, downtown L.A. had seen 4.1 inches of rain, which broke the record for the calendar day set on Feb. 4, 1927, when 2.55 inches of rain was recorded. Sunday was the third wettest February day on record and tied for the 10th wettest day for any time of year since recordkeeping began in 1877, the National Weather Service said. (The wettest day ever was March 2, 1938, which brought 5.88 inches of rain.)

Yes to hear the local news it’s anon stop story little damage and the way they tell it everybody is building an ark.
They love to hype the rains every time it’s could be 1/4 in of rain and it’s STORM WATCH.
What Global Warming?
So, 97 years ago it was worse?
But less humans to feel the pain.
Enjoy your three score and ten.
mud slide to follow
My son lives in LA.
He said he likes it when it rains... the city smells clean
“sandy soil”
Sand and Clay.
good thing we still have Sepulveda Dam (thank you Army Corps of Engineers) last reading of rainfall there overnight was 9.5 inches.
this time the hype wasn’t overhype. in my Tarzana neighborhood, rarely too much affected, 2 cars had to be rescued from being swamped overnight.
First they complain about the drought. Then its the rain. They’re never happy.
97 years. Definitely climate change. See, that’s what you get when there are millions of invaders.
Maybe this will clean up some of the poop all over the sidewalks
Ha! I had to remember how much a score is. π€£
And thank you! I am so far. π
Need 39 more days.
Everytime I hear L.A. or San Fran or even California mentioned......I think back to the great Lynrd Skynrd.....”Ewww that smell.”
Maybe the flood will help.....

Global Cooling?
yes this happens here in california.
SoCal is getting hit hard, central calif will get it later
nice “pineapple express” flow of moisture.
LA is not a desert you are repeating a myth. it get very old after a while.
That’s one way to wash the poop off the streets. Now it only needed to be strong enough to wash the homeless and their hovels, tents and boxes away.
97 years? Maybe for that area. Read about the Ventura County flood of ‘68 / ‘69
So, with much lower “CO2 pollution” 97 years ago, L.A. had an equally big rainstorm. By the minds of the climate alarmists that was impossible.
