Total was 1.37" at the site from 10.11 to 10.14.
The rains eased the fire threat, but burn areas from fires the previous August led to debris flows into the northern San Bernardino area.
Tons of mud and debris were deposited in dozens of homes and yards from Little Mountain to Del Rosa.

1924: An early season cold snap gripped Southern California from this day to 10.13, setting numerous daily minimum temperature records.
