The wider storm

There were periods of heavy rain from a Pacific storm on October 3rd and 4th. This brought rock and mud down onto several highways adjacent to areas that burned this past summer. Total rainfall amounts in the mountains exceeded 3 inches at some locations and several daily rainfall records were set in the Central Valley on October 4th. Slippery roads from this first major rain of the season led to numerous car accidents.

Began near (mod)modesto Arpt (37.6300, -120.9500).
