[californiadisasters] Too Much Rain Over Paradise

Given this is New Year's Eve and dancing is part of our cultural tradition tonight and given California is paradise in as many ways as it is not and that it has received too much rain in too short a period of time lately and more is on tap this weekend I thought I'd share this tune and video.... a collaboration of trance and electronica DJ's created this to raise money for survivors of 1998's Hurricane Mitch in Central America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExDe5SrN51U&feature=related

Let us hope no such images are on tap for California this Winter and Spring!

[Geology2] Happy New Year 2011

I wish each and every one of you a safe and prosperous and healthy and hopefully happy year 2011.

Live well and to the betterment of your fellow citizens in both your community, society, and home world and also to your own personal elevation and growth as a person.

Think for yourself and act without impulsiveness or impetuousness but with honor and dignity.

Be simultaneously skeptical and hopeful.

Be wise and circumspect in this dangerous time.

Be humble of what you are and grateful for what you have.

Always focus on the part of the glass that is full regardless of what percentage of the whole it is.

Remember that you are your brother's (or sister's) keeper... up to a point.

Preparation for your survival is your personal responsibility and civic duty so attend to this at all times.

[californiadisasters] Rare hurricane-strength winds batter L.A. area; more snow and ice on way

Rare hurricane-strength winds batter L.A. area; more snow and ice on way

December 30, 2010 | 7:06 am

A rare blast of hurricane-strength winds was topped by a 94 mph gust measured by the National Weather Service at 3:57 a.m. Thursday at Whitaker Peak.

Forecasters said the winds in valley and mountain areas will continue at least until noon Thursday. A wind warning for the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys is in place until then.

The weather service said in a statement that a northerly flow is producing the wind and icy conditions and "will continue to bring dangerous winter weather conditions" on Thursday, producing 1 to 2 inches of snow in some mountain passes and generating "upslope snow showers across the northern mountain slopes."

The weather service said icy conditions can be expected along Interstate 5 and other mountain passes.

The snow level plunged to 2,000 feet, closing Interstate 15. Temperatures fell to 49 degrees in downtown L.A. and 19 degrees at Mt. Wilson.

The California Highway Patrol’s traffic website reported toppled trees throughout Los Angeles County, including along the 710 Freeway, and the interchanges of the 110 and 101, and 5 and 101 freeways.

Downed power lines have left thousands without power.

Here are some strong wind gusts clocked overnight.

Whitaker Peak: 81 mph

Pyramid Lake: 61 mph

Castiac Lake: 75 mph

Warm Springs: 75 mph

San Fernando: 71 mph

Santa Clarita: 61 mph

[californiadisasters] Winds Whip Through L.A.; More Rain Coming

High winds, cold temperatures will be followed by rain moving in on Saturday

By Howard Blume and Shan Li
Los Angeles Times
December 30, 2010 | 7:44 am

An evening of high winds and cold weather was followed by more of the same Thursday morning, with temperatures expected to dip even lower Friday before more rain hits the region this weekend.

High wind gusts overnight hit 61 mph in Glendale and 90 mph in Angeles National Forest, said National Weather Service specialist Stuart Seto. A high-wind advisory remains in effect along the coast until noon, which means winds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts of up to 45 mph.

Authorities issued a high-wind warning for the mountains as well as for the San Gabriel, Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, with sustained winds of 35 to 50 mph and gusts of up to 80 mph. Those gusts will still measure up to 55 mph later Thursday afternoon. High-surf advisories have been issued along the coast.

In the Hollywood Hills, a tree fell on a house shortly after 5 a.m. Thursday in the 3200 block of Hillock Drive, knocking down power lines, said Erik Scott, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department. No one was hurt.

[californiadisasters] Too much rain? Next few months will tell

Experts say the ground is so saturated now that the danger of flooding and debris flow will remain heightened through the rest of the rainy season.

By Sam Allen, Rong-Gong Lin II and Hector Becerra
Los Angeles Times

December 30, 2010

The wettest December since 1889 has left hillside areas across Southern California dangerously saturated, bringing a heightened risk of landslides and further flooding in the next few months.

More than 14 inches of rain has fallen in some hillside areas in just the last two weeks, and officials said the saturation levels could intensify in January and February, when Southern California typically gets most of its rain for the year. Engineers are using helicopters to fly over some hillside areas hit by recent fires, looking for signs of fissures or earth movement.

"It gets to the point where the water that's falling is no longer even going into the ground — it's just skipping off the ground," said Bob Spencer, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. "A lot of residents are under the false impression that once the sun comes out, everything is fine. That's not the case. The soil beneath the surface can take months to completely dry out."

"With every storm that comes in, it increases the risk of potential mudslides and debris flows," he said. "The risk is there now, and it is going to remain there throughout the winter season."

In areas burned by recent fires, as little as a quarter-inch of rain can begin to cause slopes to slide. In areas with more vegetation, debris can begin to flow after about 10 inches of rain, said Douglas Morton, landslide expert with the U.S. Geological Survey.

In the San Bernardino National Forest, two weeks of pounding rain saturated the earth and washed away several sections of Highway 330, a key route to Big Bear.

Geologists were sent into the mountains this week to determine how much mountain roads have been compromised. Although these roads can withstand big accumulations of snow, last week's warm front instead brought large amounts of rain, which undermined the roads.

"We've had some storm damage in the last several years, but that was nothing compared to the damage we have now," said Darin Cooke, spokesman for the California Department of Transportation.

[californiadisasters] Interesting Photos of Recent O.C. Storm Damage

O.C. storm chasers: reader photos

December 28th, 2010, 4:15 pm · posted by Pat Brennan, O.C. Register science, environment editor

A week's worth of pounding rain caused rock and mud slides, local flooding and even evacuations in some Orange County communities. Roads were shut down and trails closed as rain gauges recorded as much as 10 inches by the time the heaviest rain ended last Wednesday.

Readers were out in force capturing images of the devastation. Here are some of the most striking pictures we received — just a few among many.

[californiadisasters] Law enforcement deaths jump in "cluster killings"

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/2010/dec/29/TDMAIN02-law-enforcement-fatalities-jump-37-ar-740961/

Law enforcement fatalities jump 37%

By Times Dispatch Staff
Published: December 29, 2010

ATLANTA -- Two officers in an Alaska town were ambushed as they chatted on a street.

A California officer and deputy were killed by an arson suspect as they tried to serve a warrant.

Two officers doing anti-drug work were gunned down by men along a busy Arkansas highway.

These so-called cluster killings of more than one officer helped make 2010 a particularly deadly year for law enforcement. Deaths in the line of duty rose 37 percent to about 160, up from 117 in 2009, according to numbers as of Tuesday compiled by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a nonprofit group that tracks police deaths.

There also was a spike in shooting deaths. Fifty-nine federal, state and local officers were killed by gunfire in 2010, a 20 percent jump compared with 2009, when 49 were killed. The total does not include the death of a Georgia State Patrol trooper shot twice in the face Monday night in Atlanta as he tried to make a traffic stop.

Also, 73 officers died in traffic incidents, up from 51 in 2009, according to the data.

The deaths were spread across more than 30 states and Puerto Rico, with the most killings reported in Texas, California, Illinois, Florida and Georgia.

Ten of the shooting deaths came from five incidents in which officers were shot in groups.
