A rain storm that swept through San Diego on Tuesday caused flooding in the Midway area and Ocean Beach, where several businesses and even a Lamborghini were damaged by high waters.
The luxury car became half-submerged as an Ocean Beach garage filled with water.

Cross Fit Humanity, Coastal Die Cutting and a concrete all saw knee-deep flooding outside their businesses along Pacific Highway.
Street flooding is nothing new for Philip Kavanaugh, the owner of Cross Fit. He said the business gets flooded at least twice a year when heavy rains sweep through. It’s cost his business more than $40,000 in damages.
He's frustrated because he believes the city could be more proactive in draining the roadways sooner.

Kavanaugh said city workers have to respond from a pump station to “flip a switch” to drain the water, but only respond after a report of flooding has been made.
“It’s not the end of the world. But it’s human error if someone can just flip the switch in a timely manner," he said.
A city spokesman told NBC 7 workers do ensure the roadway is drained.
A flood advisory for San Diego County ended at 2 p.m. Tuesday, though occasional showers are in the forecast through Wednesday morning.
