Re: [californiadisasters] Officials Perform Rescues, Seek Missing Hikers as Rains Hit L.A. Area For 6th Straight Day

As long as I've been living in the LA area, every time we've had rains,
we've had at least one case of a person or persons needed rescue (or being
beyond rescue) in the flood channels and at least one case of a person or
persons crossing, against all advice, signs, barricades, flooded
roadway--often a rain-swollen Lytle Creek.

As has been stated on this group numerous times, "You can fix stupid."
