San Diego’s storms finally began to settle today, but the damage didn’t wait. Even as the skies cleared, neighborhoods across the county were hit with sudden flooding — from waterlogged streets to stalled cars and overflowing storm drains. What looked like a quick rain system ended up overwhelming low-lying areas faster than expected. City crews are now assessing the aftermath while residents deal with road closures, backed-up traffic, and rising water in spots like Mission Valley, Chollas Creek, and parts of the South Bay. San Diego may be used to sunshine, but these storms were a reminder of how quickly things can change. #sandiego #nationalcity #pacificbeach #ChulaVista #downtownsandiego #Escondido #LaJolla #PacificBeach #NorthPark #GaslampQuarter #DowntownSanDiego #LittleItalySD #OceanBeach #MissionBeach #Hillcrest #SouthParkSD #ImperialBeach #ElCajon #MiraMesa #Clairemont #CarmelValley #Santee #OtayRanch
