you picked up 31/4 inches of rain in two days? hold my sandwich. for a place like miami that would be 47 inches worth of rainfall in the same amount of time. we could call hillary historic. neil: that is an understatement. great coverage. thanks, bob. karen is here from los angeles. she s been busy of late. major, very good to have you. how are things looking there? things are looking much better. you know, we prepared early, we were all in place. so we were able to weather this. just like the last reporter said, i know in other cities, this might look like a trivial, a of rain. but think, we are not used to rain in the summertime. also, there s many homeowners that have not recovered from the rains in january. there s plastic tarps on hillside communities.
active fires. that is all smoke in the northern side getting thrown around through northern parts of washington state through oregon. heavy rain and smoke in the same stated. something you usually don t see often. how much rain is left? its starting to thin out a bit, a good swath of rainfall. 1-2 inches of rain. the darker shade by salt lake city. could see as much as 2 1/2 inches of rainfall. we still have the flood watches out there. we have the flood warnings. watches up to the canadian border. parts of canada especially. you can see the rain. most in the mountains. almost a foot when you get outside of the l.a. mountains and areas by nevada. 11.10 in some oh those regions. the bigger cities themselves, impressive. look at los angeles. santa monica, 3.5 inches. palm springs, 3.25 inches of rainfall. major cities are like big deal.

storm to get to ahead of the big debate. right now on top of the big weather story. nicole valdez joins us in california with more. how are things looking there? neil, the mess you see behind me is an example of how intense that flash flooding was across the coachella valley. you re looking at a mess of tree limbs and caked-on mud, this is one of dozens across the palm strings area that are still shut down because of what you re about to see. some roads still have running water over them. just so much rain, torrential rain fall. all of the washes getting filled with the water and all the run-off moving downstream. you ll notice the mess of debris and mudslides reported. we know a handful of people had to be rest used after getting swept away from some flood
