That little gem was from the BBC.

However I must confess that looking through the LA Times website about the storms, I couldn't find any references to 'records being broken'

So it may be that its just the BBC overstating the matter.  (Not that the British media get hysterical or anything about this kind of stuff )

Or perhaps the West Coast Americans just take this kind of stuff in their stride.
