Monday’s storm dropped huge amounts of rainfall on Santa Barbara County and caused major property damage due to flooding, fallen trees, debris flows and rockfalls.

Emergency responders made about 100 rescues on Monday but no deaths or major injuries were reported.

Many highways and local roads were still closed Tuesday, and the Santa Barbara Airport was also closed due to flooding.
