Whether you love it or loathe it, San Diego is about to get a day of rain Friday as a winter storm moved ashore early this morning.
The heavy rain that covered Point Loma and Coronado moved north through the morning commute heading for La Jolla and Encinitas.
“We have a lot of food for this storm, a lot of that water, that moist air heading up out of the south,” NBC 7 San Diego’s meteorologist Jodi Kodesh said referring to the interactive radar showing storm clouds over the South Bay.
That heavy rain formed some street flooding on H Street near the Interstate 5 exit in Chula Vista.
Some locals heard thunder overnight and that may happen in our area again today. Lightning caused outages for several hundred customers in Escondido.
On the roads, wet roads caused dozens of accidents in the 6 a.m. hour according to the California Highway Patrol.
A truck jackknifed along northbound I-15 in Mission Valley just south of Interstate 8. The truck collided with a van closing some lanes for about 30 minutes.
In San Marcos, a fire battalion chief was involved 
in an accident along southbound I-15 at Deer Springs Road.
Even though the rain made for a messy commute, some San Diegans welcome the change in the weather.
"I woke up really happy and we're going to have a good day," said Chula Vista resident Carmen Lugo. "Even if we have rain, it's going to be a good day."
