SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Family and friends gathered in La Jolla Saturday to honor and remember a 21-year-old hiker who died in Mission Trails Park. The group prayed, hugged, cried and shared memories of Max Lenail. From when he was a baby, he just showed the most extraordinary empathy, and people would often say, how could a kid of that age have that much emotional intelligence and always know exactly what people need? Max s mother Laurie Yoler said.
She described Max as her rock, saying he was there for her through any difficulty.

Encampments along the San Diego River will be cleared away and people living in them will find permanent homes under a new partnership between an environmental group and a homeless-service provider.
Under the new effort, the San Diego River Park Foundation will work with People Assisting the Homeless, more commonly known as PATH, to connect 40 homeless people now living in the brush alongside the river with services and housing by the end of the year.
San Diego River Park Foundation Chief Associate Director Sarah Hutmacher said the partnership is one that she’s been working toward for some time.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The atmospheric river that pummeled Central California moved south into San Diego Thursday night.
Overnight rain totals across the county ranged from half an inch to an inch in many areas. By Friday evening, many coastal and valley areas surpassed an inch of rain as the storm exited the region.
Typical problem spots saw flooding, as expected, including the San Diego River by Fashion Valley Mall and also the Tijuana River.
A storm out of British Columbia that drew moisture from the subtropics dumped upwards of an inch of precipitation across most of San Diego County Friday, cutting the region’s rain deficit, easing the threat of wildfires and refreshing backyard gardens everywhere.
The system also deposited at least 9 inches of snow on Palomar, coating the mountain only four days after it was frosted by a bigger storm.
This was the third storm to hit the county in a week, and a fourth system could arrive next Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain began to fall late Thursday night and intensified before dawn on Friday. Through 12:45 p.m., Lake Cuyamaca had gotten 1.38 inches of rain while Fallbrook got 1.36 inches and Oceanside and Point Loma got 1.29 inches.
