Heavy Snow in N Ventura, California

A powerful Pacific storm brought heavy rain, thunderstorms and snow to Southern California. Heavy showers produced flash flooding in the hills north of Arcadia, where Santa Anita Canyon Road was washed out and mud flows occurred in Arcadia. In Central Los Angeles, gusty thunderstorm winds damaged roofs and blew down power lines. In fact, one power line, when blown down, electrified a metal fence which electrocuted a woman. Fortunately, the woman only suffered minor injuries. In the mountains, 10 to 18 inches of snow was reported.
