episode_narrativeThe last in a series of strong, early season storms brought record heavy rain to the coast and valleys, and dumped two feet of snow at the mountain resorts. This storm sent October rainfall totals to record levels in most locations, and brought a quick end to what could have been another disasterous fire season. San Diego Lindbergh Field ended October with 4.98 inches of rain, making it the wettest October since records began in 1850. Many ski resorts in the San Bernardino Mountains were open by Halloween...something that hadn't happened in over 30 years. The storm caused widespread urban flooding and sent mud and rocks sliding down hillsides and canyons all across the area. Strong thunderstorms also raked across Orange and San Diego counties, bringing even more heavy rain, small hail, and gusty winds. Rainfall amounts generally ranged from 2.00 to 4.00 inches or more from the coast to the mountains, and between 0.50 to 1.00 inch in the deserts. As a result, October rainfall totals ended between 1000% and 2000% above normal in the coast, valley, and desert locations, and between 500% to 900% above normal in the mountains.
