Slide Bamage Heavy: Coast Rains Trigger Avalanche Of Mud
Torrential rains beating down on the hills of Southern California compound tragedy with every drop. Brush fires this summer stripped the hills of vegetation and there is nothing to hold the run-off of water. First a trickle, then a flood followed by avalanches of mud in the wake of the water. One woman is swept to her death as scores of families flee their homes. Torrential rains have no mercy on the hills in Southern California causing land slides made of tons of mud. Tons of mud lay in an area where there used to be brook. A trickle of water running down a hill and following a road that used to be a bed of a stream. Water running down the steps of a walk-way of a private home, it looks like a little water fall. A pickup truck driving down the road that resembles a stream filled with mud. A ranch home that had a mud slide flow down the area burying it half way up in mud, including small trees that it took along its mud slide trek. Ruins of another home. Rear shot of a man dressed in rain attire looking at the moving stream of mud and water in front of his home. A house completely destroyed by the wake of the mud slides, there are only partial wall standing. Front view of a home, the piano is out in the used to be lawn, land has been washed away from a tree where you can see the roots. The large glass windows are gone from the home. Firemen carrying the remains of a woman that met her demise from the mud slides. A car that was stopped by a tree and some shrubbery from sliding into a house. A tow-truck and two men whit hard hats, water and mud swirling around the tires of the truck.
