Stormy weather in California

LIGHT showers kept southern California wet yesterday as residents braced for yet another blast of the stormy weather that has caused flash flooding and knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses.

As much as three inches of rain was forecast along the coast on Saturday night, with up to 10 inches possible in the foothills.

Downtown Los Angeles has already had 28.55 inches of precipitation since July 1, the seventh wettest water year on record.
