Worst Flooding in San Diego History?

1/19/2022 (Permalink)

We restore storm damage 24-hours a day in San Diego County.

SERVPRO^® of San Diego City SW has been mitigating and restoring storm damage for San Diegans for many years. We haven’t seen anything like the Flash Flood of 1821 recently. Here’s what happened that year:

That September, a wall of water cascaded down the steep mountain slopes of the east county and filled Mission Valley overnight. Orange objects bobbed up and down like corks on the fast-moving current: ripe pumpkins, hundreds of them, snatched from the fields of El Cajon Valley. The torrent was so strong it forged a levee of silt along its southern shore. It closed the channel to San Diego Bay and changed its course to Mission Bay. Since the day before had been clear, no one expected such a sudden, overwhelming deluge.
