The wettest rain storm in 16 months caused mudslides and flooding in Orange and San Bernardino Counties. Highways and city streets were flooded for 30 minutes to three hours and contributed directly to several fatal accidents. High winds blew down power lines in the Apple Valley area. The combination of rain soaked ground and strong winds caused trees and power poles to topple in the San Bernardino Mountains.
