LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — As predicted, heavy rain hit Lake County on Monday night and early Tuesday morning, leading to some reports of downed poles and trees.

Overnight, about 2 inches of rain fell along the Northshore and other parts of the county.

The rain led to road issues. Shortly after 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, there was a report of a tree and power poles sheared off on the side of Bottle Rock Road near Penson Court, with a few boulders also in the roadway.

About an hour later, there were reports of mud, dirt and rocks in the roadway at Highway 29 and Highway 175 in Middletown.

The National Weather Service continues to estimate that several more inches of rain could fall through the rest of this week, before a forecasted break in the rain on New Year’s Day.
