Were there roof collapses, etc.?
How 'bout those concrete run-offs (lined rivers) ....running strong?

We got 4 inches at my house which is a huge amount for us. A few road closures here and there. Lots of stuck cars and trucks. Potholes too ruining rims.
We're still waiting to get something out of it. So far just barely enough to wet the road.
My brother in the OC got 6" in 2 days..........it's fascinating. Early February for the win. Keep raining down there, stop asking for water from the north!!
How's your well? Are able to defer the expensive replacement?
The Mojave river fills the aquifer. It flowed a full 10 months.i can't measure the water level with the pump in the casing but it's been working fine. Judging by the amount of time it takes the water to get to the surface I'm going to say that the aquifer is very full.
Well they don't crown the roads here so the water just sits on the road . No safety inspections so we have bald tires.Instead of saving the water most of it gets channeled into the ocean. I don't get it either.You Cali kids crack me up…..save that…..you’ll be on fire in a few months!
Wow, never thought 4 inches of rain was a big deal in the sense of on the east coast, yes it is significant but it happens without that kind of turmoil. You can get a couple inches in a bad thunderstorm.
As you get past the five inch mark it starts becoming a news item, 10 inches can be a strong tropical storm rainfall to hurricane.
The coast here in NC and most the eastern seaboard, two events just late least year at our home in a 3 month period brought 5 inches of rain each time, other then a backed up street drain here or there, no issues.
I can see the issues in the Mountains anyplace including CA. Most all the US east coast is flat land up to around 100 miles or more in from the ocean. Good luck over there in CA!

Yes but look at the mean. I think where my brother lives the mean is 12 inches or so. The last two years, cranking above that, but even so 4" is quite large proportionally.

I understand/agree and why I brought up the east coast and acknowledge the issues on the west coast.
I was surprised to see the posts that referenced 4 to 6 inches.
My family lives in the OC (Fullerton) side of basically the same hills:
Wow, ok, I got it, was not aware. I dont watch much news anymore, even though my work at home wife updates me time to time.
Takes 2 weeks from the first flood until the level starts to rise in my well. Goes up 1 inch per day from what I measured last year
Why would a roof collapse from rain?
