Storm and flood water in San Diego County

Nobody plans for a tropical storm in August. On August 20 and 21, 2023, Tropical Storm Hilary crossed San Diego County, the first tropical storm to hit California in 84 years. Winds reached 84 miles per hour in parts of the county, some communities saw more than 6 inches of rain, trees came down on houses, and water flooded intersections across the region.

For a homeowner the damage pattern is specific. A fallen branch or torn roof covering lets rain in above, while water from the street can reach a garage or a ground floor from below, and the two call for different responses. A storm this large also strains everyone at once, so crews and materials are scarce in the first days, and a homeowner's early steps count for more.

Emergency steps come first: stopping further entry with a tarp or board-up, then removing water and opening wet materials. Drying follows, with readings to show when the structure is dry. Reconstruction of anything removed comes last, and it is worth keeping the stages separate in any estimate.

Ask what has been done to stop new water, which materials will be removed and why, and how the work will be documented for your insurer. The first day matters most, so see the first 24 hours after water damage, and what to do after wind and hail applies equally to roof openings.
