Mudslides At Permanent Houses

https://weather.com/news/news/2021-...rvine-california-evacuations-silverado-canyon


Good afternoon all,

This is a current event going on in Orange County, California. This cy is just south of LA.

There was a mandatory evacuation.

I take note that the Red Cross opened a temporary evac shelter. Had thought that the COVID-19 regulations prohibited these types of congregant shelters due the severity of this virus. Apparently, when BIG $$$ for motels, hotels involved, the coronavirus isn't that contageous. (Still, recommend wear 3 or more masks.)

Was it not known to the state of California that last year's scorched and barren hillsides subject to mud slides ?

Note the term "debris flows".

Think of living in Orange County and you know that barren hills can produce mudslides. Think of your landscaping prep. Think of the rubber boots /Wellingtons kept in house, perhaps an extra pair in vehicle.
