Sunday, January 28th 2024. With another chance of rain just 3 days away, the City of San Diego stepped up their efforts to try and get ready for the next storm as fast as humanly possible. Almost every department in the city showed up to help out including San Diego Fire, ESD, Streets, Parks and Rec, Urban Forestry, and Think Blue/Stormwater. Because it was Sunday, more resources and manpower were available than the day before, meaning crews could move at a much faster pace. Parks and Rec brought out their Beach Cats, more commonly found grading the sand on Mission Bay, to clear large piles of debris out of the street, ESD pulled roll offs from park locations to drop in Southcrest, half of the cities residential rear load fleet was out working, almost every dump truck in the city was out getting filled up with mud and debris from Chollas Creek, and streets department also brought out their big dozers. From 7AM to 5PM, garbage trucks, roll offs, and dump trucks were doing round robbins to the landfill dumping tons of material off. Even though they made a large dent by the end of the day, the amount of debris still left to clear out was massive. During the course of the next week, the city hired contractors to help clear out more trash from the street.

Thanks to the crews for allowing me to film!
