Record rainfall reported throughout Southern California

A massive storm front that rolled through Southern California brought a flurry of wild weather along with it, including flooding, high-powered winds, snowfall and record-setting rainfall. 

The storm slowly moved into the region on Monday, when precipitation began to fall, causing headaches for beginning of the week commuters. 

While rain fell through most of the day, the storm flexed its true power overnight and throughout Tuesday, when downpours accompanied by strong wind caused a bevy of watches, warnings and evacuations for people living all over Southern California. 

While the storm is expected to last through the earliest parts of Wednesday, some regions have already reported a record-level of rainfall for the beginning of November, what was the wettest start to the month in nearly two decades.
