San Diego Lifeguards sent a swift-water rescue team to the Harmony Grove area after reports a homeless camp was flooded and swept one person downstream. The victim was later pulled from the water and treated at the scene.

County road crews were sent to the 12-hundred block of Mountain View Road in Harbison Canyon to clean up a minor rock slide that temporarily blocked the road.

A mudslide in the Talmadge area Monday afternoon prompted fears of evacuations. Mud flowing down the hill in the 47-hundred block of Aldine Drive was threatening a large Eucalyptus tree and worried some residents.

The heavy rain was causing street flooding Monday afternoon near Midway Drive and Rosecrans.

Flooding is also reported in low-lying areas of Pacific Beach, Sorrento Valey, Mission Beach and Leucadia. One person had to be rescued from a vehicle near Carroll Road and Brown Deer Road.

On Interstate-8 in Alpine a big rig overturned. No reports of injuries.

The California Highway Patrol reported 345 crashes on local freeways from Midnight to 6 p.m. Monday.
