Southern CA Storm: Flash Flood, Day 3

This is Day 3 in a series of severe storms that are striking Southern California (severe by Southern CA standards). The strongest portion moved through the area earlier this afternoon. At the start of the clip on the computer screen, you can see the dark red shading move from left to right; this is the most severe portion of the storm and it is bearing down on my location. The rain turns torrential, and huge amounts of water pick up steam as they roll down the hill that is Gaffey St. in the North San Pedro area. The water turns downhill off fourth street and heads at a rapid clip towards the Grand Ave. neighborhoods that were ravaged yesterday. Today, drains are clear and the water runs off much faster. Still, open drains are no match for the Mother Nature when she decides to turn the faucet on full blast!
