As First El Nino Storms Strike, L.A. Residents Brace for Flooding and Mudslides
Even while California's longtime drought drags on, residents in the Los Angeles area are preparing for flooding. With the months-long El Niño weather system already producing intense rainstorms, destructive surf, and mudslides along the state's coast, Los Angeles locals are realizing that it has been years since they looked at their drainage systems, residential waterproofing and other means of protecting against such harsh weather. Contractors in the area report a surge of business as the awareness of what El Niño will bring sets in, meaning that those who hope to weather the coming storms would do well to make arrangements immediately.
