Southern California faces the risk of rock flow and clay collapses

The southern California region faces the risk of flowing rocks and clay collapses, on the sides of the hills that were struck by forest fires.
This comes after the day of the heavy rains that have moved in the movement of debris through many roads, including the Pacific Coast Highway.

Dangerous collapses

The storm that struck the area began to calm down Thursday evening, but the dangerous collapses can occur even after the rain stopped.

This comes, especially in the burning areas where the vegetation came to help the soil.
In the Pacific neighborhood of Palisids, up to 0.9 meters of clay accumulated at one of the intersections of the highway.
While some drivers tried to split their way, and bulldozers remove the mud.

Wide accumulations on the roads

To the north, ice and snow contributed to wide accumulations on highways in Oregon and Washington.
It resulted in the injury of ten people, while a winter storm blew up in the northwest of the Pacific Ocean.
The western coast storms are the latest in a week of bad weather throughout the United States, which caused the power of the electrical current to tens of thousands.
