A very wet and dynamic series of storms started on 1/18 and ended on 1/22. Rainfall ranged from two to four inches in the deserts, to four to eight inches west of the mountains, to six to 12 inches on the coastal slopes. Widespread flooding resulted across the region. Snowfall of 40 to 60 inches was reported at the higher resorts, with up to seven feet at the highest ski resorts. Some of the worst flash flooding occurred in the high desert on the 1/21 due to the prolonged heavy rainfall. Scores of homes and several schools sustained damage and many roads were washed out in Hesperia, Apple Valley, Victorville and Adelanto. Numerous swift water rescues were needed, one of which likely saved four teens trapped in a storm water drain. On this day, thunderstorms were particularly strong in Orange County, with peak gusts of 93 and 92 mph measured at Newport Beach and Huntington Beach Piers. Numerous 60-70 mph gusts were reported in surrounding areas. The storms spawned an EF1 tornado in Sunset Beach that damaged boats in Huntington Harbor. On 1/21 the surface pressure fell to an alltime record low of 29.15 inches (987.1 mb) at San Diego Lindbergh Field, the lowest since reliable pressure records began in 1880. Two deaths in Tijuana were attributed to the flooding. A tree fell on a mobile home in Lakeside, causing one fatality on this day.
