Residents in San Diego County are facing accusations related to the damage caused by last year's flooding, particularly from the city of San Diego. With over 1,500 individuals suing the city in 54 lawsuits, the claims center on the city's failure to properly maintain storm channels. Many victims are still in the process of rebuilding their lives. Recently, the city has initiated countersuits against several defendants, including some flood victims, asserting that they contributed to the drainage issues. Additionally, the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District has filed a separate countersuit against local residents and the County of San Diego for flood-related damages.
