The local forecasts have been (surprisingly) pretty accurate as far as rainfall this year, at least compared to my rain gauge. It's great to see a
wet season, we don't get nearly enough.

Feb. 26th 1969 was the culmination of a real wet February, Three people died in OC up in Silverado Canyon including a classmate. Will never forget it

I lived in Fillmore. The two bridges out to our house got washed out, some Boy Scouts were killed up the Sespe River trying to cross on a bulldozer.
We had no power or water for two weeks, and had to cross over the raging river on a huge I beam to get to the school bus. There is no way they would
allow children to do that today, I still remember the raging brown Sespe below me. That was one hell of a winter.
I have 1.4" in my rain gauge this morning in Carlsbad. Pretty good.

A little further north...(central Sierras)
I don't have a rain gauge, but the basement where I am staying just flooded! That usually means three or four inches per day.
There are some flooded roads in lower areas, but the main impact is from the wind. A lot of trees went down over a wide area, taking out power
lines, cars and structures!
There have even been reports of thunder and lightning snow storms at higher elevations. That is very rare!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

I remember that, too, and lost a classmate from jr high school, though I was already in HS when it happened. I didnt recall her in high school at all.
The person I knew was a girl. Cant remember her name, yet I can see her in my mind. Was it maybe a Helen? I went to MVHS.
Weren't they killed as a result of the roof collapsing on the post office building they were in?
Yeah, living in SoCal for so long, the winter of 69-70 was still the rainiest I can RECALL. Statistically, it may not have been. A very cold winter,
too. Lots of snow on Saddleback.

1969 was the grittiest, gnarliest winter though it wasn't the highest precip on record, just that it all fell in a six week period. Silverado,
Tujunga, Topanga, Laguna Canyons all a mess.

I think the floods coming out of Laguna Canyon spelled the end of the Laguna boardwalk that I knew, as a kid. Of course, it was rebuilt......again. I
seem to remember that the '69 floods may have finally taken out the stone lifeguard tower, too. Anyone remember? Russ?

TJ can get ugly in the rain. I was there some years ago during one of the worst rainstorms I've ever seen. Ave Internacional was under water and I
was in the northbound border traffic that was diverted into TJ. At one point I recall watching a VW Bug in front of me get swept away in a flash
flood that came in from a side street. Crazy.

Sad to say, but I imagine tons of trash and other contaminates are headed to the beach right now!

Not Imperial Beach where the Tijuana River meets the ocean!
About as bad as the way they used to use arroyos for dumps around Baja towns, knowing that the next flash flood would take it all to the sea... as if
that was a good thing! LOL

I remember a pretty amazing sandbar at Aliso, just saw it from the school bus, didn't surf yet but others were out there. Somewhere there's a pic of
a guy surfing the wakes from semis in Laguna Canyon.
