May 28th, 2017: Big Sur Slide
♫ First you bake it 10 years, good and dry
♪ Add water higher than a big dog’s eye ♫ Give a little wiggle from side to side ♪ Now you’re doing the Big Sur Sliiiiide You’ve probably seen pictures of this mudslide that buried Rte 1 at Big Sur with 40 ft (12.2 m) of dirt and rocks. It’s billed as the biggest mudslide in recorded state history. Susana Cruz, a spokeswoman with Caltrans said, "It's one of a kind. We haven't been able to go up there and assess. It's still moving," I’ve read estimates of a Billion dollars and at least a year to open that road. OK, you’ve got politicians and tourist businesses screaming to get ‘er done. Probably environmental people saying clean the ocean too, and Religious Cults picketing saying it’s FSMs will. How do you even start moving what slid and stabilizing what didn’t? My solution is turn back the clock, learn from the past… Quote:
been washing into the Pacific for a very long time. However, the ocean there is inside the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, governed by regulations that prohibit discharges into the ocean. In other words, Da Feds, and Trump doesn’t have any hotels there. Then 13 miles(21km) north is another slide which was scheduled to be fixed by July, and about 40 miles north the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge should be done by the end of the year. All there problems came from the winter rains. I'm glad I got to drive it a few times before the shit hit the fan. link
