The Los Angeles County flood of 2005 was the first large flood in Los Angeles County since 1938. It affected communities near the Los Angeles River and areas ranging from Santa Barbara County in the north to Orange and San Diego Counties in the south, as well as Riverside and San Bernardino Counties to the east. Large amounts of rain in January caused the Los Angeles River basin to overflow. The Ventura, Santa Ynez, and Santa Clara Rivers also flooded.[1]

Extent and effects

Over {{convert|37|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rain was recorded in downtown Los Angeles for the 2004-2005 rain season, marking the highest rainfall year since 1884.[2] Ski areas in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains also received record amounts of snow. From December 27, 2004 through January 10, 2005, {{convert|16.97|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rain fell on downtown Los Angeles, the wettest 15 day consecutive period on record.[2]

Seventeen deaths were attributed to rainfall, and several hundred people were displaced by flooding. The worst incident was a mudslide at La Conchita in Ventura County which destroyed 15 homes and killed 10 people.[3]

President Bush declared a state of emergency in Southern California to assist in recovery from flood damages estimated at $300 million or more.[4]
