The National Weather Service warned of an astonishing 6.37 inches of rain for downtown Los Angeles, and, incredibly, 8.66 inches fell for the four-day period ending late Tuesday - more than 60% of downtown L.A.'s annual average rainfall.
The accuracy of the forecast came in part because the configuration and orientation of this storm - while rare for Southern California - is familiar to weather officials so they could model it with a certain level of confidence.
