VIDEO: Rain-swollen Los Angeles River roars in Glendale

GLENDALE, Calif. -- The powerful storm drenched the Southland on Saturday, causing the rain-swollen Los Angeles River to roar in Glendale.

The L.A. River is usually a trickle. That definitely was not the case on Saturday, when the relentless rain caused the water level to rise significantly.
