What the National Weather Service wrote
A man was killed after a large tree fell on him in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego. Winds were gusting to 40 mph in the area at the time of the report.
The wider storm
A very strong area of low pressure, tapped into an atmospheric river driving up subtropical moisture, produced substantial rainfall across southern California. This led to some areas within the San Bernardino mountains receiving well over a foot of total rain on Christmas Eve, and resulted in significant flooding for the city of Wrightwood. There also road closures due to debris flow along Highway 2.
