most of the bigger mudslides often don't happen until a few days after the rains have stopped.
the water goes down through the sand/soil until it hits the clay layer, then it puddles.
eventually a big hunk of land will "hydroplane" off the clay layer and slide down.
a lot of the slides we're seeing now are actually left-overs from the first round of rain...it just took a little nudge to finish 'em off.
where i live in huntington beach, we're very close to the ocean, yet we're six feet below sea level. we're used to the water coming OUT of the storm drains for days.
fortunately there's plenty of free sandbag filler right down the street.....
