Rain pummeled San Diego Saturday night. It caused back-ups and a sea of endless brake lights on the roads. A home in Clairemont experienced the storm's force, a tree uprooted and fell on the family's van.
"We came out to find our neighbor's tree had fallen directly across our van and it was laying on top of our van. Branches everywhere," said homeowner Martin Bacich.
The family said the storm was quick but left its mark. "I heard this big slam and my mom's like, ‘the tree fell over!’ So we all ran outside and I see this giant tree laying across the driveway," said Thomas Bacich. The whole family went into clean up mode. "We all came out and tried to help as we could. In the beginning it was still raining pretty heavily, so there wasn't much we could do," said Lucy Bacich.
Luckily, the van only had minor damage. Martin Bacich added, "there's some scratches but the poor little ginkgo tree took the brunt of it." They said the rain is a welcoming sight, and they're even hoping for more. Cecilia Bacich added, "we hope there's more constant rain that's not so crazy."
