The "M" above Moreno Valley was demolished.

The Viejas Fire resulted, burning 5,500 acres east of Alpine.
Trees and power lines were downed.
1998: A funnel cloud was observed southwest of Chula Vista.
1979: A combination of high pressure over the interior with a storm off Baja California produced Santa Ana like wind gusts to 60 mph in the I-8 corridor, but a 90 mph gust was unofficially reported by Caltrans.
Interstate 8 was closed for a then record 20 hours stranding more than 1,000 motorists.
Power outages occurred all over San Diego County.
The rainstorm in Baja California washed out the Trans-Peninsular highway near El Rosario (156 miles south of Ensenada).
