Rain in southern California causes clay flows to help firefighters

More rains continued, today, Monday, on parts of the southern California, after the rains caused mud flows early week, which helped firefighters to perform their mission, but it increased the risk of toxic ash in areas affected by forest fires in Los Angeles.
Joe Cereard, an air meteorologist at the National Meteorological Authority in Oxenard, California, said that the flood monitoring process continued in the last fire areas that erupted around the Pacific Balsadis neighborhood in Los Angeles, the suburb of Altadina and Lake Castay.
“All these new fires are very vulnerable to rapid spread,” Cerrard added, and warned against small amounts of rain within a few minutes.

Overflow

He said that this means that we have a serious danger to the clay and debris flows as soon as we exceed these thresholds.
The National Oceanic and Air Force Administration reported that Los Angeles International Airport had reported a little less than one inch (2.5 centimeters) within 24 hours, which ended at three o’clock in the morning Monday.

Mud flows

The areas around the surrounding were informed of lower quantities, and part of the Pacific Hi -Wi Highway was closed in Los Angeles Province as of Sunday afternoon, due to clay flows in Topanga Canyon, according to the California Ministry of Transport.
Areas of the mountains in San Bernardino and Rivarside boycotted the fall of large amounts of snow.
It is noteworthy that one of the benefits that the rain may cause is to help firefighters who are fighting multiple forest fires after weeks of stormy and dry weather.
