Those hills are unstable as it is and when the rain adds weight, down they come. I've never heard a window squeak like your Tesla, I'd trade it in for a real car.
I get the lack of drainage, and mudslides. But for the millions and millions I’m sure LA makes in property taxes you’d think they’d engineer a drainage system. So when that one time in California gets to experience what us poors experience, and that’s rain for days at a time. Then the large amount of town might not suffer damage from water that is powerful.
LA has a drainage system, and you saw it in the video. What you're seeing is the canyons. Not sure how you envision doing any better drainage-wise when what is happening is the cause of rain-soaked undeveloped hillsides above these homes giving way. Also, how does one drain thick mud and boulders?
That’s the thing when you live on Benedict Canyon Road or off of Mulholland or Laurel Canyon or Coldwater Canyon. The further you go up and into that neighborhood this is what happens living up there. All that stuff on top of those mountains comes down. The fencing you see that stuffs not gonna hold mudflow or those rocks or those boulders. More for decoration.
VANCOUVER , BC = PINE APPLE EXPRESS usually in the winter time this weather system comes up from Hawaii and drops 3 - 5 " of rain over a few days , but this time instead of coming north - it crossed over to fix the California Drought = Like the Song - It Never Rains in California but girl let me WARN YOU IT POURS - People help each other it Hard Times - just think of the poor Homeless Population estimated to be 80,000+ People sleeping outside - Good Time to Wash Clothes = STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE !
I love your coverage of this, it’s really interesting to get a resident’s perspective, the media would never drive through what you put your Tesla through. As respectfully as possible: more please, but the most important thing - stay safe and don’t take any unnecessary risks for content. I enjoyed this video a lot, I suppose I enjoy all the chaos LA can offer 😁 Stay safe
I wouldn’t say the city “crumbled”. If anything the storm drain system did a decent job at re routing a lot of the heavy rain. We can’t control mud slides, and natural topography. There were no major damages to infrastructure
In Sacramento it was estimated that we need 30 billion or something large for storm water management. Sunday was a testimonial to that. Glad your safe Gordon, maybe get a shit box truck for things like these
What's funny is that storm went striaght to Arizona and did nothing 😂 it did all of it's damage in cali. We only got like 2 hours of rain for a day. That's it, maybe like .3inches if we're lucky
It is perfectly normal California and Arizona to have a storm like this. I follow a lot of RU-vidrs who live there with their project cars for over a decade with storms like this
CA driver: Look at that crater bro, Jeez Louise MI driver: goodness gracious, drive around it, that’s normal, they don’t fix it until there’s 17 in one spot bro
