Flood advisories remained in place through Sunday afternoon for
LA, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, where localized showers
were still possible after heavy downpours on Friday and
Saturday.
"Due to the abundant rainfall the past couple of days, it will
not take as much rainfall to cause additional flooding/rockslide
conditions," the National Weather Service said in a Sunday
update.
Authorities on Sunday were still searching for a 5-year-old girl
who was swept into the ocean by 15-foot (4.6-meter) waves at a
state beach in Monterey County on Friday. The girl's father,
39-year-old Yuji Hu, of Calgary, Alberta, was killed while
trying to save his daughter, sheriff's officials said.
In Sutter County north of Sacramento, a 71-year-old man died
Friday after his vehicle was swept off a flooded bridge,
according to the California Highway Patrol.
Off the coast of San Diego, a wooden boat believed to have been
ferrying migrants toward the U.S. from Mexico capsized in stormy
seas, leaving at least four people dead and four hospitalized,
the Coast Guard said Saturday.
The long plume of tropical moisture that formed over the Pacific
Ocean began drenching the San Francisco Bay Area on Wednesday
night and then unleashed widespread rain over Southern
California on Friday and Saturday. More than 4 inches (10
centimeters) of rain fell over coastal Santa Barbara County as
the storm approached Los Angeles. Parts of the Sierra Nevada
received more than a foot of snow.
The weather service said scattered rain could continue through
Tuesday in the southern part of the state. Another storm was
expected to arrive on Thursday.
