Sunny California !!!!

[mondi]

Thank goodness for the internet, Im sitting at home right now, with the only 2 ways of getting out of this area completely closed off by mudslides and torrential flooding.. I cant get to the really bad areas to take pics because they have police blocking the roads but heres a few snaps from round the neighbourhood:

1 - My street, normally a nice little suburban drive...

2 - which is nothing compared my friend jims drive...

if you look up the hill there you'll see a yellow barrier, I know 3 people that live up there, and one off to the side... the one off to the side had to leave because their entire house is filled with mud, and the ones up the hill are being asked to evacuate because their houses just might slide right off the hill...

3 - Towards the freeway, before we were turned back....

nothing compared to the other disasters going on at the moment, but definitely a notch up for Southern California.... ill try to take some more later if the police will let me by, or maybe ill try walking if the muds not too deep later ...

You're :screwed: :eek:

[profdlp]

That is going to take some cleaning up... :wtf:

[Thrax]

The government should ban erosion.

:eek:

Damn that area needs some more trees.

Our area got hit with almost 20" of snow right before Christmas and then 2 weeks later freezing rain that took out power for most of my hometown. That looks so much worse tho.

Wow......sunny california indeed. Is this type of weather normal, just excessive this time?

It appears all around the world the weather patterns are changing somewhat. Hope you guys are alright.

[bothered]

The government should ban erosion.

Our government would tax it.

Just like Tea.;)

Just like Tea.;)
They had better not :mad:

Mondi, wow. That's some mess your state has to clear up. Take it out steady out there mate :thumbsup:

[Leonardo]

I heard about the screwy weather hitting California and thought about you. Your place is OK then?

[pseudonym]

Holy crap Mondi, that sucks!! Have a hot mondi, that'll take you mind off of it ;D

[Nomad]

Just like Tea.;)

*Dresses up like Cherokee Indian and pours into harbor*

[mmonnin]

Hehe yeah thats what I was getting at.

luckily i live on a hill that has been almost completely covered in concrete, so I do not have to deal with mud.

Although my sister's father in law got stuck in a mud slide driving home on Bouquet Canyon which some of you native California people probably know what is, and he had to climb to the top of his car and get air lifted out by a helicopter. ;D

Crazy weather indeed. It has snowed two times where I live this year, it hasn't snowed here for about 10 years if I remember right. I live in the damn Mojave desert by the way. Allthough at the moment it makes no sense calling it that seeing as everything is green and soaking wet from a week straight of non stop showers. :scratch:

I also hear the LA river is a class IV rapid! ;D

[GnomeWizardd]

IF our government banned it the liberals would scream again :thumbsup:

[Gravite2090]

As I was typing my original post here disaster struck north of Santa Barbara :( Should be on the mainstream news shortly, hopefully not to many are dead.

[Leonardo]

Errr -- let's keep politics out of the thread, OK? :cool:

[primesuspect]

Hot Mondi called me up tonight to let me know he was okay. He said it's not TOO bad where he's at, at least no one around him has experienced any tragedy. Let's hope it stays that way :(

It's very, very muddy in his neighborhood.

We wish you the best, brotha mondi. You need to get outta dodge man.... With the fires last year, the mud this year, and who knows what else coming up..... :(

[Shorty]

He could move to Detroit :D .. he's practically a resident there for a quarter of the year ;D

I echo your sentiment though Brian, stay safe out there Mr Mondi :)
