San Diego's Damaging Storm Becomes a Deadly One

Since the historic storm slammed into San Diego, no deaths have been reported in the city of San Diego.

But officials say it appears three people outside the city died in ways suspected to be storm-related — including a man and a woman whose bodies were found in Santee. Both remain unidentified. In Lemon Grove, a 67-year-old man died after his vehicle collided with debris.

Investigators are working to determine what happened to the two people found dead in Santee. The Medical Examiner’s Office says they are being investigated as storm-related deaths.

The death of Harold James Hooker, 67, is also suspected to be storm-related according to the Medical Examiner's office. Hooker was driving a minivan on Lemon Grove Avenue just after 5:30 p.m. when the vehicle slammed into concrete debris in the roadway, went up an embankment, hit a utility pole and flipped.

It was still unclear what happened to an unknown man with a dog who was seen by first responders going underwater in Spring Valley on Monday.
