INLAND EMPIRE – (INT) – Damage is becoming more apparent as repairs continue in the wake of Thursday's storms.

Forecasters say the latest round of monsoon storms will diminish before the weekend.

An area between Beaumont and Redlands took the biggest hit as a downpour sent mud surging across Live Oak and San Timoteo Canyon roads. Vehicles became mired down in the mud. Utility lines and trees fell closing some roads.

The storm sent trees crashing onto four RV trailers at Fisherman’s Retreat. Two people suffered minor injuries.

Roads in nearby Beaumont and Cherry Valley were flooded. The National Weather Service said the powerful thunderstorm generated winds in excess of 60 miles an hour.

Mountains roads in the Crestline-Lake Arrowhead-Deep Creek area were hit with mud and rock slides.

Near Wrightwood, a rain gauge at the Big Pines Recreation Park measured almost a half-inch of rain in 7-minutes.

The storms also roamed the deserts Thursday. In Palm Desert, twenty people were displaced by flooding at an apartment complex. Several trees fell on to the roof of the building on Elkhorn Trail flooding it with rain water.

The California Highway Patrol reported 3-feet of water on Interstate 40 at Goffs Road. High water also covered Route 95 in the Needles area.

Lightning zapped the Morongo Basin knocking out power to homes and businesses. Water, rocks, sand and debris covered non-paved roads in the Joshua Tree National Park.

The National Weather Service says the 2-day onslaught has peaked and chances of more monsoon storms will decline into the weekend.
