"We're getting a significant amount of rainfall at the same time where we're also getting a significant amount of leaf fall," said Mark Standriff, City of Fresno.

Officials say the city of Fresno is constantly doing storm prep but when certain areas need special attention during storms -- crews are mobilized.

Every once in awhile we get calls for clogged drains and our storm swat team is already to head out and clear everything out. We're testing pumps on a regular basis but so far so good we're not really seeing any significant temporary flooding," Standriff said.

CHP investigators are looking into whether rain played a factor into a deadly accident near the Tulare County town of Dinuba.

PG&E officials say despite the crash -- power outages were kept to a minimum in the area

"In some areas we have equipment in our system that allows it to isolate damage very quickly. You might notice a momentary outage...the lights flicker and that's our system healing itself," said Denny Boyles, PG&E spokesman.
