Before I moved to LA...

...I didn't even know what "red-tagged" meant. From today's LA Times:

"The sun is shining, but the rain is busily percolating downward," said Randy Jibson, a geological consultant for the U.S. Geological Survey.

"You can't see it, but it's busy. I expect that in the next few months, we will see a spectrum of landslides--deeper, slow-moving landslides--throughout the region. They don't kill people, but they cause enormous property damage. You can sit there and listen to a house creaking and groaning, and you're helpless," he said.

Precipitation or oven cleaner? You make the call.

You know, one of the reasons I love LA so much is that humans really shouldn't have settled here. It's a city of immense denial.
