Gushing rain from the strongest storm to hit Southern California this winter caused a handful of injuries and swept one firefighter off the road into ocean swells on Feb. 13.
Videos shared on social media show the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) fire inspector’s vehicle dragged into the ocean as debris and mud poured over the roadway along Big Rock Road near Malibu. The SUV tumbled onto the driver’s side before righting itself.
