I saw that the basin got pounded again this afternoon. Rail fall rates in East LA and Compton at about 3 p.m. were over 4"/hr.
I drove through Carson this afternoon and got pounded. It was really strange in the whole south bay area — 10 minutes of sunny sky and white clouds and then wham! Pouring rain at the 4”/hour level. Streets were flooded, sewers overflowing, and clueless California drivers not knowing what the heck to do. I hadn’t seen it rain that hard since the big rainfall we had in 1994 or 1995. (To a Floridian, it was nuthin, lol)
