Heavy rain continued to fall in Los Angeles on Monday morning as much of Hollywood returned to work while the weather continued wreaking havoc, creating mudslides, closing roads and causing numerous accidents.
Multiple flash flood watches are still in effect for most of Southern California on Monday, according to the Weather Service.
The National Weather Service adds: “Potential impacts include the possibility of flash flooding for all areas (mountains of Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties) due to heavy downpours and isolated thunderstorms, debris flows for recent burn areas, rock and mudslides along canyon roads, urban and small stream flooding, significant travel delays, downed trees and isolated power outages, and dangerous winter driving conditions in the mountains.”
Record-breaking rainfall occurred in Long Beach, according to authorities.
“Record rainfall of 3.87” was set at the LB Airport today. This rainfall sets an all-time record for LGB,” according to the Long Beach Fire Department. “Previous record was 3.75″ in 1995.”
