Sandbags available at locations throughout San Diego county ahead of rainstorm

With a storm on the way that will bring significant rainfall to the San Diego area starting Wednesday afternoon, county officials urged people to take steps to protect their property.

The storm is expected to deliver showers late Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening, with the heaviest precipitation likely to fall Wednesday evening, according to the National Weather Service. Precipitation totals through Friday could reach four inches in the mountains, 2.5 inches in the inland valleys, 1.5 inches in coastal areas and less than two-thirds of an inch in the deserts.

The city of San Diego offers up to 10 sandbags, without sand, per household at one location at each of the nine city council districts.
