Wear a mask.
Landslides caused by the ozone layer!
We’re doomed.
I don’t blame you one bit.

That’s one of the four California seasons. Fire, landslides, riots, and earthquakes.
Vegetation good.
Overgrowth bad.
No vegetation worse.
Wonder what it looked like before population.
Bill Maher addressed the fires.

It is not a “brand-new threat”.
Where do these people come up with these statements ignoring the history of the region?
After the fires kill all the flora, their roots will no longer be there to hold the soil in place. The roots will begin to decay, and then the rains will come.

Well, that was obvious.
Of course mudslides would happen when all the vegetation is gone.
Locust like swarms of personal injury attorneys.
Wait. You mean climate taxes don’t fit things??
Increase of the frequency of wet water years?
I thought it was drying out because of “climate change”.
this is a reset for the hypocrites...
california has been dictating air quality standards for years...
Perhaps trenches could be cut into the hills to form water retaining terraces.
This is new? In the 1960s after such a fire the state would use helicopters to spread seeds of various plants to try and stabilize the soil before mud slides began.
I am reminded of the old movie “How to Commit Marriage”(1969) with Bob Hope and Jackie Gleason in which mud slides after fires are in the scenes. “Please! Don’t make waves!”
I first moved to So Cal following the ‘93 Malibu fires, which turned into the 94-95 mud slides that completely wiped out the hillsides on both sides of Malibu Creek. That bridge and shopping center next to Malibu Creek were all new after 95. I can’t remember if it was the same El Niño storms that washed the 101 into the ocean between Ventura and Santa Barbara, but two police officers drove into what they thought was flooded roadway and they sank to the bottom of the ocean. If you look at Google maps satellite and find Surfer’s Point and the Ventura County Fairgrounds, you’ll see the wreckage of beautiful bike path that used to be there and they never repaired it.
Not news. In 1989 John McPhee wrote about the LA cycle of hillside fires, heavy rains, followed by landslides in “Control of Nature.”

Anyone who thinks this is news that actually requires a warning is not well-informed.
Despite all the bad news, fruits, and nuts out there, CA is a crown jewel of natural beauty. Most every kind of geological feature can be explored from north to south. No wonder so many people gravitate there. The lefty zealots won’t have the final say.
