Sounds promising. Great photo capture on the 6th.

I am not exactly sure what you meant by the IP address not being available. (But maybe you meant the original thread?) In any case, all of the advice provided last year, will work for this year.

Work continues as the rain has gone for a couple of days.

That is a depressing thought

What you can't see from the photo above is that the debris from the last 24 hours filled up an area more than 160 feet...

And a similar story in the Altadena area.

The other side of the storms are the mudflows in the fire areas. Look at this video from the outflow side of the Sierra Madre Dam in southern California!...

There are three different atmospheric river storms heading for California this week. Due to hit the Sierras on Wednesday. I hope that brings some more snow!

Thanks for the photos!

Actually, what burns in a wildfire is much more about luck than anything. When I left my yard in 1993 during the Altadena Fire, the roof on the house across the street was on fire --with ten-foot...

Agreed,

I just chose a frame at random, to give those who are viewing this thread a quick visual.

Yes, it is bad. So many lives disrupted by this event.

Mark

Yes, indeed.
