Absolutely NOTHING appears in the CONUS North of about 39.5 degrees from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans.

This is quite unusual, I believe

Water mains breaking in LA county. Seems like that would be a sign of some kind of stress building up.

Interesting. I looked it up.

Another L.A. neighborhood woke up to a water main break Sunday morning.

This one occurred in the 2800 block of South Bronson Avenue in the Jefferson Park area, according to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. It is believed that the water line ruptured around 2 a.m.

LADWP officials told KTLA that as of 6 a.m. Sunday, a total of 37 services and three fire hydrants were affected by the breaks.

Are they having more than usual?

“On average, LADWP experiences about 3 to 4 water main breaks per day in its 7,340 mile water distribution system in the City of LA. Despite this, the rate of main breaks we experience in LA of 16.8 leaks per 100 miles is far better than the national average of 25 leaks per 100 miles.”

Here’s what Gemini AI had to say about it.

“is los angeles currently having more water main breaks than usual?

Yes and no—while the total number of leaks is technically within normal baseline averages, Los Angeles is currently dealing with a highly concentrated and destructive cluster of prominent water main failures. Over the span of just one week, at least five major water main breaks erupted across the region, heavily flooding neighborhoods and shutting down primary roadways like the Sunset Strip.The Recent Cluster of FailuresThe sudden surge in media attention and public disruption stems from several high-profile incidents occurring back-to-back:The Sunset Boulevard Rupture: A 110-year-old, 36-inch trunk line burst in West Hollywood, swallowing cars, creating a massive sinkhole, and unleashing 17 million gallons of water.The Secondary Follow-ups: Days later, a second pinhole leak emerged a mile away on Santa Monica Boulevard, followed by another break in South Los Angeles.Neighborhood Spreading: Pipe failures simultaneously flooded streets and knocked out service in Studio City, Venice, Echo Park, and Boyle Heights.The “Domino Effect” vs. The Daily AverageThe Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) maintains that the city is technically still hitting its normal average of 2 to 4 breaks per day across the entire grid. However, the current situation feels far worse due to two factors:The Domino Effect: When a massive trunk line fails or gets shut down for repairs, the sudden, drastic shifts in water pressure can trigger a chain reaction, forcing nearby brittle, century-old pipes to crack under the new stress.The Spotlight Effect: As an LADWP spokesperson explained, “When we have a large break, it draws attention to our smaller breaks”. Incidents that would normally go unnoticed in a neighborhood side-street are now being heavily monitored by local news.”

I moved out of California 3 years ago and I never had any issues like this, but I did experience the earthquakes numerous times. The sinkhole you mentioned is crazy.

When I hold my breath, it’s usually because I’m trying to expell something out the other side.

If Mother Earth is sucking it in because she’s about to blow out her girdle...

Just hope she does it while President Trump is still POTUS.

I don’t follow closely, but I know it’s a ticking time bomb.
