A storm like that is never good news for anyone. However, for the Aztecs, fortunately it's coming through this weekend and not next weekend.

I love a good summer storm myself. So do the golf courses.

The Weather Channel just forecasted up to "10" inches of rain for San Diego's mountains. That would devastate Mission Valley and the Snapdragon area, along with homes, roads, etc. Keep an close eye on this storm. It could be a serious problem and could cancel the upcoming game vs. Ohio depending on the amount of damage in the area.
Take precaution and stay informed...

The National Weather Service is estimating 1.5-2 inches at the coast. |

All that rain in the mountains will eventually run into rivers... including the San Diego River, which parallels Snapdragon Stadium & the new park area currently under construction on the property. That's a lot of water folks! 2-3 inches at Snapdragon plus the 5-7 inches (now possible 8-12 inches) from the mountains could flood the area like it did when SDSU played Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl back in 2010. Hurricane Hilary is now the top story on The Weather Channel. Don't underestimate the possibility of significant damage in the area. |

Sounds like it will be a really good test to see how the area is doing so far with all the new changes that were made during the mass grading phase of the project so far. This will also point out any drastic changes that may have happened downstream that could back-up into the project. This will be a good test for the SWPPP The next tests will be irrigation/drainage once once they have paved over and start to set structures up over the few years. |

I think the wind could be a bigger problem for the county, especially if there is lightning.

From reports, the storm should be nowhere near as bad in SD as 2010 (mostly effect the East near the mountains) and the old parking lot has been replaced with catch basins and drainage systems as you pointed out. |

Pretty sure there's enough room in them currently. |

Nice of you Jeff to be concerned about others. You may be new to the area. These storms generally show up several times in the summer and fall, here an in the Imperial Valley. Nothing new to folk that have been here for 10 or more years. Don't think I can recall any serious damage to people, or property. The ones in the winter are more troubling because they're over the major populated areas and do cause damage, particularly with mudslides. |

A tropical storm has not landed in CA since 1939, so this isn’t a normal event. |

From the above: ...the plume of moisture will cause catastrophic flooding this weekend in southern CA...
I remember many people celebrating SD ocean temps hitting 80 degrees back in the summer of '18. I'm guessing those same folks won't be celebrating if/when their homes are flooded.

We shall see if the tiered elevation they built works or doesn’t. |

Anyone here old enough recall Hurricane Doreen in August of 1977? Dropped over 2 inches here in San Diego.
