BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A rainstorm pelted Kern County Monday night and into Tuesday morning.
There was flooding around Kern County, along with car accidents. Overall, it’s been a good day of welcome rainfall.
On Monday, dark clouds covered the sky, and now the sunshine is back. Besides some vehicle spinouts, car accidents were very minor across Bakersfield.
Some streets were flooded, but the city’s response was quick and drained water around those areas. People across town were excited to see the rain.
“A lot of puddles around, it rained quite a bit last night, so obviously you gotta stay clear of those but I like when the sun is behind the clouds, so it’s nice when we get the rain,” said Jordan Lunchstrom.
Cars splashing through puddles, raindrops pelting on windows and windshields, are sounds that aren’t common in Bakersfield, but it’s safe to say that the people in our town loved to hear it.
