Torrential Storm Begins to Fade in San Francisco Area
A winter storm began to fade Sunday, after bringing torrential rain to parts of Northern California while causing mudslides and minor flooding.
The storm set a 24-hour record for rainfall in San Francisco, flooded roads and basements throughout the Bay Area and caused two minor mudslides in Tiburon, police and fire officials said.
San Francisco saw a record rainfall of 6.16 inches for the 24-hour period ending Sunday morning, meteorologist David MacPherson said.
Kentfield in Marin County had the most rain in the state, with more than 10.11 inches for the duration of the storm, while almost 8 inches was reported at Corte Madera.
The rain helped ease concerns about another drought year. It also was a welcome break for ski resort managers, who saw more than 18 inches of snow fall.
