Mudslides – Evacuations La Canada Area

In Los Angeles area floods and mudslides are becoming a something to worry about as each day passes.

Look at this video:

LA CANADA MUDSLIDE OCEAN VIEW 02/06/2010

another video:
A shorter video that shows the rocks, bolders and trees that are coming down the canyon. The basin is now officially at 100% capacity. So, we don’t have a basin anymore, but we do have channels downstream, into Montrose. Up stream at the top of the canyon there were mudslides last night. The basin at the top of I met neighbors who have been parked at the lot on Foothill since 4am. Their home is completely surrounded by mud. Another neighbor pulled an elderly resident from her bed, washed in water and mud, and took her down the hill to a medical unit. Cars are turned over. Boulders are strewn about. Several homes at Manistee Dr, Derwood Dr, Bristow Dr and Normanton Dr are feeling the brunt of the mud slides right now. They have a debris basin at the end of Manistee Dr. which is also now full. When the basins fill up, the mud has to go into the streets.

Here’s what gets me. There was several forecasts made that told everyone to not worry, that this was not going to be as bad as the last storm.

Here’s the story in the Pasadena Star News Not to worry…

Google Super Bowl 2010 Ad?

From Eric Schmidt:
Can’t wait to watch the Superbowl tomorrow. Be sure to watch the ads in the 3rd quarter (someone said “Hell has indeed frozen over.”)

Looks like we will see a Google ad, perhaps one about the Nexus One? Android Phone? Google Search?

Monrovia Produce Exchange

Today I learned about the Monrovia Produce Exchange

Leave the wallet, bring the produce. Tell every neighbor with plentiful fruit trees and every friend with a garden, every student who can’t afford groceries, every child who learned how to share, every organic eater, every community-builder, every earth-lover that now is the time for growing and sharing. Offer to share gardening space if you have it. Help someone pick their produce if they can’t do it. Tear out your lawn and use that water to grow up trees, vegetables, herbs and flowers. Bring it all to monrovia on the first saturday morning every month to share what you have and take what you need. Neighbor helping neighbor and friend helping friend.
Please post any helpful gardening tips, helpful websites, pictures of you in your garden, recipes or available gadening spaces. Share this site with lots and lots of people. The more people we have, the more produce we have to share. E-mail heather at monroviatrades@yahoo.com with any ideas, suggestions or if you’re able to be a produce picking/transporting volunteer.

May your gardens be plentiful.
