Mike, up until the fire burned the hillsides in April, 2013, everything 
around was in natural equilibrium, with native trees, brush, weeds, and 
grasses holding the soil down.  My neighbor's house was built in the 
'40's at the mouth of the canyon and except for one major mud event in 
1980 when a fallen tree lodged across the canyon, mud and debris backed 
up behind, and then everything let go all at once, there have been 
absolutely no problems.

Now it's a whole new ballgame.  Five rainfalls since March  - five 
resultant mudflows.  Yes, us old guys can dig out in our sleep now, but 
it's getting old REAL fast!
