The first day of spring got off to a wet start in Southern California Wednesday as a cold weather system brought wild weather to the region, including torrential downpours, thunderstorms, lightning and hail.
Nonstop rain drenched the Compton area for nearly 2 hours after noon, dropping more than 3/4 inches of rain in the span of an hour. By late afternoon, a total of 1.57 inches was reported at Compton Creek, according to the National Weather Service.
The heavy rain caused widespread flooding along a stretch of the 710 freeway from Del Amo Boulevard to the 91 Freeway. CHP had to shut down north and southbound lanes just before 2:30 p.m. as the road became inundated with floodwaters, according to the California Highway Patrol's incident log.

Elsewhere, a burst of heavy rain dropped nearly a third of an inch of rain to the San Gabriel River between 10:45 and 10:50 a.m., according to the weather service.
KTLA viewer videos captured hail falling in areas including Long Beach, Glendale, Woodland Hills, Lake Balboa and elsewhere.
The damp kickoff to spring follows the announcement that California, which experienced a very wet winter, is free of drought for the first time since 2011.
