Hollywood Reservoir Gets 1.97 Inches of Rain

Heavy rains that moved across Los Angeles and Orange counties and triggered warnings from the National Weather Service of possible flooding subsided Sunday, but not without leaving an impression.

The Hollywood Reservoir received 1.97 inches of rain within a period of 24 hours, according to a preliminary National Weather Service rainfall report published at 6 a.m.

There were no major incidents reported in Hollywood due to the rain. View a gallery of rain photos from Twitter users above. We noticed a couple Tweets about a power outage in Hollywood. It seemed to be resolved by 10:30 p.m.

Monday should be dry and mostly sunny, with highs in the upper 60s.

Despite the winter storm, some residents squeezed a couple hours out of the Hollywood Farmers' Market before the rain arrived, tourists braved visiting the Walk of Fame and others hit the theater to be a part of The Hunger Games mania on Sunday. 

Across Los Angeles, utility crews worked overnight to restore power to more than 15,000 customers affected by outages blamed on the first storm to strike the Southland this spring.

As of 10 p.m. Sunday, 7,500 Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers were without electricity.

The outages were blamed on rain and fierce winds, which downed power lines.

The Malibu area and the Conejo and Santa Clarita valleys appeared to bear the brunt of the storm.

Rockslides were reported on Mulholland Highway above Malibu, and some ramps and freeway lanes were flooding along the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway near Canyon Country.

Snow was reported on Interstate 5 over the Grapevine at midafternoon, but CHP officers said it was not sticking and the key freeway link remained open — but soaked. Several spinouts and minor crashes were reported along the freeway.

Winds came out of the southeast at 15-25 mph, and temperatures topped out in the 60s.

In all, the Los Angeles Basin received about a half-inch to an inch of rain by the time the storm passed.

Eight to 15 inches of snow fell in locations at an altitude about 6,000 feet or more and some snow fell at elevations as low as about 4,500 feet.
