What the National Weather Service wrote

The San Diego River rose above flood stage early in the afternoon on the 21st, crested at 11.46 feet at 5:15 PM that evening, and fell back below flood stage an hour later. The river washed out a low water crossing in the Mission Valley area and caused flooding in the typical trouble spots around the Fashion Valley Mall. A man described as a transient was swept away on the 22nd when he tried to wade across the rain-swollen river. His body was recovered two weeks later.
