A record-shattering rain system faded overnight Monday, leaving a soggy, and still often flooded, Kern County behind. The rain caused rock slides in the Kern River Canyon, closing Highway 178 from the mouth of the canyon to Borel Road near Bodfish. People traveling between Bakersfield and Lake Isabella were forced to use Highways 155 and 14 as the alternate route. Caltrans said Tuesday that Hwy. 178 could be closed until Dec. 31 as crews work to stabilize the rocky sides of the canyon before removing the boulders on the roadway.
