Day 18: And the Rains Came
The much advertised rains have begun to pummel southern California. Radar estimates (which tend to be low because of the many mountains and high bluffs) of over 7 inches of rain are already showing up southeast of Santa Barbara in Ventura county. Remember the big “Station Fire” from 2009? Several mudslides have already been reported in the charred areas left over from the fire. You can check out more news results regarding the southern California storm along with discussions about its impact on the areas impacted by the Station Fire here. This is just day 1 of a prolonged rain event and several residents have already been asked to evacuate.
