So You Heard About Flooded San Diego? Don't Panic, But Grab Your Inner Tube! (Probably Not)
Ah, San Diego. Land of sunshine, beaches, and... surprise floods? Don't worry, folks, this isn't exactly a daily occurrence (thank goodness for the beaches, right?). But hey, even paradise gets a little wet sometimes.
So, the question on everyone's mind: where's the deluge downpour happening?
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
Well, buckle up for a wild ride, because San Diego flooding can be a bit of a moving target. Here's a quick rundown of the areas that tend to get a little more "water world" than others:
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
Mission Valley: This crown jewel of floodplains boasts the mighty San Diego River snaking right through it. Think Jason Momoa wading through waist-deep water, not kayaking (although, that would be a sight to see).
Eastern San Diego County: Mountains and canyons? Check. Dry creek beds? Check. Flash flood central? Double check. Keep an eye on the weather if you're out exploring this beautiful, but potentially soggy, area.
Tijuana River Valley: This spot shares a cozy border with our friends in Tijuana, and sometimes, a little too much of that "sharing" involves... well, water. The Tijuana River can overflow its banks during heavy rains, so be sure to know the escape routes (just in case your inner child fancies playing Marco Polo with a renegade river).
