BREAKING Storm knocks down massive tree in Woodland Hills, crushing a dozen cars at strip mall and trapping man inside vehicle
Yet another storm system swept through Southern California on Saturday, knocking down trees, flooding beachfront communities and creating chaotic, muddy messes.
Saturday's rain system was not quite as powerful as last week's series of storms, but the already-saturated ground did create flows of mud and water that caused problems for residents and drivers. Some people were trapped inside the vehicles, but were able to free themselves without serious injury."We were eating inside the Boiling Crab and we hear a loud thud," said Jordan Alvaraz. "We felt it. It was like a shake.""One guy was unfortunately inside and we had to help him get out from the front of his windshield," Alvarez said. "It was pretty bad."
In Seal Beach, a notorious drainage spot was once again flooding near the beach, threatening the boardwalk. Residents say the area often backs up when it rains. Crews were there all day Saturday with pumps trying to clear out the water. In San Pedro, the intersection of 5th and Gaffney started flooding when a storm drain backed up, sending water pouring into lanes.
