Clouds Burst
Yes, we're still in a drought, but what a weekend. Thunderstorms pumped in by a tropical storm off Baja brought lightning, beach closures and power outages. A bridge washout closed Interstate 10 in both directions at Desert Center. How unusual is this? Rainfall in downtown L.A. already has broken the previous July record of 1886. An Angels home game was rained out for the first time in 20 years. More may be on the way today.
