"Anyone that is thinking of traveling – the best thing to do is to stay home and not leave the house – if for some reason someone has to leave your home the recommendation is to avoid driving through any flooded streets – the saying is turn around, don’t drown," said Marielena Castellanos with the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department's swift water rescue teams are ready to respond. Residents are encouraged to avoid trails in the city's open space parks, as conditions can be dangerous.
The Ocean Pier also remains closed after damage during storms and high surf earlier this year. NBC 7 reached out to the city after reports of people on the pier. The city said the pier's front gate lock was cut. Staff cleared the pier and then closed it back up for public safety, Tyler Becker with the city said.
The pier will remain closed after the storm season has passed, the city said.
San Diegans are encouraged to report flooding and downed trees by using the Get It Done app or by calling 619-527-7500.
