  1. The local news has a report that it was raining so hard in the Santa Monica area yesterday that one of the flood control channels near where the Palisades fire burned was undercut by the water and severely damaged.  Basically the concrete lining the bottom of the channel was ripped up and deposited in a pile downstream.   The Palisades fire wasn't anywhere near me but the Eaton fire was and we have basically the same kinds of channels around here.   😮

      It's not so much the amount of water that does the damage, it's the speed of the current and the pressure it generates, and water will find any weakness or way under a structure.

      Yes.  And once it finds a weakness it will exploit it fully.  This happened at the Oroville dam in northern California about a decade ago too.  The water flowing down the main spillway found a crack and tore a big hole in concrete of the spillway.  Flowing water is an extremely powerful force.
