SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) – Since Thursday afternoon impressive rainfall totals have soaked Santa Barbara County and the Central Coast.
The Friday morning totals during the first break in a steady – and at times, very strong rain system – showed Refugio Pass with 5.36 of rain and San Marcos Pass above Goleta with 4.23 inches of rain. Santa Barbara had 2.64 inches and Carpinteria was at 1.85. In the northern region, Los Alamos had 2.53 inches and Cachuma Lake had a measurement of 3.3 inches.
