Storm Cell Above Studio City Briefly Pours Rain, Floods Streets

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) - A small storm cell dumped rain on Studio City for about 20 minutes Thursday afternoon, drenching the area.

Pedestrians were caught by surprise as the rain came and went.

One person who was caught in the rain said, "It started raining and then the sun came out, so it was weird."

The heavy downpour flooded the intersection of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Woodbridge Street.

Cars parked along Laurel Canyon looked as if they were stranded in the high water, as storm drains struggled to capture the downpour of water.

The rain was gone in a matter of minutes and the sunshine returned.
