A reader/friend sent me a link to a part of this report and then I saw it on twitter and was reminded that I wanted to post this to the blog. It is fascinating. it was done for the USGS and is a study of the debris flows in late January of all 3 burn areas in Monterey County, and on the Lightning Complex fires in Santa Cruz. It was published the 2nd of this month.
The story maps can be found here: https://landslides.usgs.gov/storymap/NCentCA-2021jan/

Great work, Kate!
Great news to read that Deetjens is opening in May. It’s a great drive down to Big Sur from Monterey and we’ll support all we can. We’ve missed having breakfast there.
Just Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to start.
The rainfall and debris flow studies are a great reference. Enjoyed every fascinating page.
