It's true that most of the time we hardly ever see rain in Los Angeles. From April to December it's day after day of sunny and warm. Beginning in January, everything changes. We can expect anything from severe wind storms, icy cold temps, and lots of rain. Too much rain at times, causing roads and bridges to disappear, houses sliding off hillsides, mudslides sweeping away entire neighborhoods, plus flooding, such as in 1995. And then again in 2005.

  • Is this a drainage problem or just an absolutely insane day? I live in Vancouver where it rains all the damn time, and it's never flooded 'long as I've been alive. Hope you didn't suffer much damage, nature's a bitch.

  • Well, in general the land around Los Angeles does not get much rain, so the land isn't used to channeling or absorbing much water when it does rain. The rain in the video reflects the extreme end of what nature offers up to us every few years.

  • I was in LA in summer 1999, can't believe this is the same area.

    Maybe climate is really changing.

  • About once every 10 years this area get's a flooding rain. Been that way since forever.

  • great footage! where in los angeles did u take these shots?

  • Read the title slates, they say where. Basically in or near Los Angeles.

  • whoa! i just realized 6:20 is right by my house.

  • check out alluvione in livorno !

    damn it was hard !

  • what month was this in 1995

  • and in 2005, the same thing happened.

  • that was ok

  • If you cut down the trees and remove the vegetation holding steep slopes in place, then slope failure and debris avalanches are a given. I know that there is not a lot you can do if fires rip through the area and kill all of the vegetation, but these events are not new.
