"Record-Breaking Rain Causes Widespread Flooding in San Diego"

San Diego declared a state of emergency after experiencing the wettest January day on record, causing widespread flooding and prompting rescues of stranded migrants and residents. The storm, part of a series hitting the West Coast, led to road closures, flooding in usual areas, and a state of emergency declaration by Mayor Todd Gloria. The storm, reminiscent of El Niño years, brought the city's season-to-date precipitation slightly above normal, but more such storms are needed to reach average annual rainfall.
