See LA rainfall records from the Christmas Eve storm – NBC Los Angeles

The Christmas Eve storm that brought steady rain Wednesday was a record-setter. 

The storm, which will deliver more scattered showers Thursday, produced hours of rainfall that started in the early morning hours. The system led to flooding on Los Angeles freeways, heightened concerns over debris flows in burn zones and mud flows in the mountain community of Wrightwood.
