A rain-saturated hillside collapsed in Marin County during Tuesday's storm, causing 100 feet of road to buckle and blocking public access to Olompali State Historic Park

  1. I suspect that the wildly wet weather that has besieged drought-stricken California may be God's way of reminding sinful people that He can be merciful and harsh at the same time.

  2. All the rain and snow was because of all the hard work of Calvin Nuisance and Ten Percent Joe. The flooding and the land slides though were all caused by Orange Man Bad.

  3. That’s why God made 4WD.

  4. Gee, let’s just look at it for a while until TPTB can get around to making a decision…OR…get a couple of independent construction firms to bring in their machinery to remove the mess then compact the fill and regrade that short section with gravel and regrind from removed asphalt…it’ll be operational in a day or two.

    1. I wish I’d been able to get my land deal through before Harry R did.

    2. Never happening.

      The Big One just moves the coastal sliver north, until Oregon becomes what Virginia is on the Chesapeake.

      In about 200,000 years.

      If you're waiting for the state to slide anywhere, you're better off buying lottery tickets.
      Assuming you slept through geography and math class.

      What is going to happen sooner, is earthquakes that drive some of the locusts back where they came from, and traffic gets a lot better hereabouts for a couple of years, until a fresh crop of locusts that never heard of earthquakes moves in. If you could discourage them from ever coming, I'll send money to your newsletter and march in your parade.

  7. Maybe if they look into the ancient texts, there was some lost technology practiced by "The Old Ones" of which some examples can still be seen here and there in parts of California.
    Called I believe, "Flood Control Dams" and something they referred to as "Reservoirs".
    Unfortunately, no one today knows how the ancients built them.

  8. It's almost as if California has predictable wet (mudslide) and dry (wildfire) seasons. And yet they seem to come as a surprise to most Californians every single year.
