An intense rainstorm the evening of Jan 8 - 9 created devastating mudslides/debris slides in the community of Montecito, adjacent to Santa Barbara, CA. Huge boulders, rocks, trees, and mud were swept down creeks, smashing homes and businesses, and washing people away. What you see here is a section of Montecito. That river-looking thing is the 101 freeway, 4 lanes and the only way in and out of Santa Barbara. It is still closed.

The size of the boulders was incredible. 20 people have died and there are still 4 missing. Hundreds of homes have been damaged or totally destroyed.

Another scene of the devastation. I haven't seen this on Imgur and thought it worth a mention.

It's wild seeing that from above. I live in chicago now but grew up in Cali. Can't imagine traffic without 101

This is why i wont move to CA. If the earthquakes don't get you, it'll either be a drougbt, mudslide, or fire that will kill you. Or traffic

On the other hand, you could make it in Hollywood...or in porn, more probably. Nevermind, you surely have an average to small penis.
