San Diego residents and city officials on Tuesday, Jan. 23 cleaned up the aftermath of an "unprecedented" winter storm that caused severe flooding and prompted states of emergency from the city, county and state. Several hours of rain on Monday closed freeways and damaged houses and cars. The storm hit neighborhoods in southeast San Diego especially hard, impacting hundreds of families, Mayor Todd Gloria said in a Tuesday afternoon press conference. “From what I saw, the damage and the impact was absolutely devastating,” Gloria said. “In fact, it was heartbreaking.” Gloria associated the storm with climate change and told San Diegans to expect more weather systems like this to come. He said the last storm of this severity hit San Diego in the 1930s. Rainfall hit record levels, making Monday the fourth wettest day on record for the City of San Diego, Chief Operating Officer Eric Dargan said.
