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.

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.

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.

it doesn't even rain that hard. The problem is our drains are so clogged with shit, that water has nowhere to go. This looks like the Hollywood Hills/Topanga Cyn/Malibu Hills, no surprise there

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

I was in LA in summer 1999, can't believe this is the same area.
Maybe climate is really changing.
