WATCH: A powerful storm swept across San Diego Sunday overnight, leaving behind power outages, downed trees and flooding. NBC 7's Kelvin Henry went to check out an area notorious for flooding — Mission Valley. Watch below or read more about rescues here:

By 10 a.m., San Diego Fire-Rescue Lifeguards responded to a group of seven people who were stuck on an island and some in the water near the Interstate 5 and I-8 interchange. Lifeguards rescued five people but a search was initiated for two more who were eventually located nearby. Using a rescue boat, lifeguards brought the final two people out of the water at SeaWorld Drive, according to fire officials.

And in Otay Mesa, Cal Fire crews had to rescue a person who was sitting on top of their vehicle on Otay Lakes Road. Trees and tree limbs were also being knocked down by the downpours combined with gusty winds. San Diego police were responding after a"wide-diameter pine tree" fell on a two-story apartment complex in Serra Mesa just after 5 a.m. Monday. The damage was contained to the outside of the complex but it forced the evacuation of about 8 people. No one was injured.

And in Golden Hill, another large eucalyptus tree had fallen from the San Diego Municipal Golf Course onto the street, causing lanes to be blocked.Track the Rain in San Diego With NBC 7’s First Alert Doppler 7 Radar
