| episode_narrative | A convergence line over the southeast corner of the Southern San Joaquin Valley led to low-topped convection in a line from East Bakersfield southward toward Lamont. The resulting heavy rain from the narrow thunderstorm band over the sloped terrain of Northeast Bakersfield led to rapid rises in storm runoff with substantial water depths at several locations in a 12 square mile area bounded by the Panorama Bluffs to the north...River Blvd to the west...Fairfax Ave to the east...and State Highway 58 to the south. State Highways 178 and 58 were closed due to standing water in underpasses with numerous stalled vehicles throughout the area. Several residences and apartments were flooded due to the high runoff levels up to 3 feet in depth. A reliable spotter report indicated that 1.50" of rain fell between 1615-1715 PST (1.80" for the day) and was very similar in behavior to an event in June of 1972. Meadows Field only 3 miles to the west received only 0.17" of rain for the event. |
