6.75" OF RAIN BRING MUDSLIDES TO SIERRA MADRE


BREAKING NEWS: 

Street Closures Continue

On Saturday morning the City of 
Sierra Madre issued an additional 
road closure alert: Lower Canyon - 
All of Sturtevant Drive. Go to: 

nixle.us/G3NEF for complete details 
and updates.

 The City of Sierra Madre, while 
beginning the process of recovering 
from 14 homes totally destroyed 
and approximately 60 homes and/or 
other structures either destroyed or 
damaged by smoke, was faced with 
yet another challenge on Thursday 
and Friday. According to resident 
Dave Felt who has reliably captured 
rainfall in the city for more than 15 
years, the Sierra Madre total was 
6.75" compared to 28" reported in 
downtown Los Angeles..

Fortunately, at press time there were no reported injuries 
or deaths. 

 Rivers of mud flowed down hillsides and streets. On 
Thursday, the city issued mandator evacuation orders for 
residents in multiple hillside zones. Public safety staff went door to door 
encouraging residents to leave in advance of the mud 
reaching their homes, however many chose to remain 
'hunkered down' until the emergency was over and were 
asked to sign statements acknowledging their voluntary 
choice to remain in their homes. Here is a list of full 
street closures at press time:

Full Street Closures:

Churchill Rd.

Skyland Drive

Orange Drive

Idlehour Lane

Sturtevant Drive

 Prior to the storm, Sierra Madre Public Works prepared 
in preparation for the anticipated rainfall in advance 
by, among other things placing K Rails strategically 
to minimize the impact of the mud on homes and 
structures.

 SMPolice, SM Fire and several other agencies assisted 
in keeping the public out of danger.
