Storm Veers South, Calming Fears of Floods in Fire Areas
The weekend storm that was expected to pack a wallop turned into a dud, sparing fire-ravaged communities any major problems.
Firefighters took advantage of the calm weather Sunday to wash their trucks.
County fire crews had their sandbags in place a couple of weeks ago, and they held in the rains, a spokeswoman for the Fire Department said.
Weather officials reported that the Civic Center received only a 0.08 inch of rain as the storm veered south to Mexico. In the local mountains, the rain added at least 2 1/2 inches of snow down to the 5,800 foot level.
No more rain is expected at least for the next few days.
