Heavy rain in Los Angeles leads to road closure and water reuse. Rocks fall on Malibu Canyon Road, causing it to be closed. LA County Public Works captures 80 billion gallons of water for reuse. Survey teams monitor boulders along canyon roads to prevent slides. Southern Californians eager to return to the beach.
Some, like Noah Redclay, are excited by the rain. "I like it, yeah. I got my shoes off," said the 20-year-old.But, for others like one Glendale man we met, "It's too much!"Because of that rain, rocks came tumbling down on Malibu Canyon Road near the tunnel causing it to be closed from Piuma Road to Civic Center Drive. Much of what fell is sandstone. It’s pretty porous and breaks easily.
Along the canyon roads, because we get slides, Burger says survey teams have marked some of the larger boulders to monitor them and if they see any movement they can have a preemptive closure or they can even use high pressure hoses to knock those boulders down.But, clearly slides happens.Like the seabirds over the ocean there are plenty of Southern Californians ready to fly back to the beach and catch a few rays.
