"1934 New Year's Flood" reminder
When
Thursday, 01 January 2015
12:00 PM to 12:00 PM
(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time - Dublin / Edinburgh / Lisbon / London
Where
Los Angeles County - Crescenta Valley
Notes
On this date in 1934 following heavy rains in the San Gabriel Mountains, walls of water and debris rampaged down steep canyons and into small communities at the base of those mountains along the northern margin of the Crescenta Valley killing over 100 people in La Crescenta, La Canada, and Montrose and damaging or destroying hundreds of homes and automobiles. In one particularly tragic incident, a wall of water tore into a Red Cross shelter located in an American Legion Hall killing 25 men, women, and children.

-A Number of years ago when the Kettle river bridge was refurbished Don Longfellow was against it. That was at first. After seeing the damage to the bridge he acquiesced. The deciding factor were pictures that I had showed him. They showed the damage to the bridge where it attached to the walls on the side of the river. Each and every day hundreds of vehicles including trucks went over that bridge. Looking back I think it's scary to think that one of them could've gone into the Kettle River during its flood stage. I keep my pictures for the records. Nobody else has copies of them. If you'd like you can keep them. (*See one of them below. This is where West end of bridge used to connect to wall.)

She tested negative for Ebola on Tuesday, but remained in hospital for further testing until her release yesterday..
Gordon says that even though she never thought she had the disease, she still didn't want to be known as the first Canadian Ebola patient.

The Truckee Police Department says 26-year-old Kevin Michael McQuilliams of Pocatello was taken into custody about 6 p.m. Thursday without incident.
Police in Nevada say McQuilliams appears to have switched vehicles to avoid capture.
Authorities in Idaho Falls, Idaho, say the shooting occurred at 1:30 a.m. Thursday and that 34-year-old AnnaRae Ponce of Pocatello died at the scene.
Idaho Falls police say it doesn't appear that Ponce was the intended target.
Authorities say McQuilliams' 4-year-old son was with him when he was arrested. The child has been placed in protective custody.
Idaho Falls authorities said Friday they are working to have McQuilliams extradited back to Idaho.

helm after the longtime Boise State head man took over from Steve
Sarkisian in December 2013.

record, but struggled with the Pac-12 slate, dropping five of seven
before ending the regular season with wins over Oregon State and
Washington State. Overall the Huskies held serve on the season, winning
all eight games against unranked teams and losing all five matchups

A new report on threats to Yellowstone National Park reveals that
National Geographic Magazine will release an issue in 2016 dedicated to
the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
The issue highlighting the
country's oldest national park will come the same year the National Park
Service celebrates its centennial, The Billings Gazette reported.The detail is in the park's draft progress report to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Committee.
Park officials are required to produce the report as a condition of Yellowstone's 2003 removal from the List of World Heritage Danger sites.
One issue is the Yellowstone bison population, which officials say is too high. The report says the park is evaluating the feasibility of a bison quarantine program in which animals that test negative for disease could be considered for relocation outside Yellowstone and perhaps to tribal lands for conservation, cultural and commercial purposes.
The bison herd is estimated at about 4,900, and park biologists would like to keep it between 2,500 and 4,500. Up to 600 bison are scheduled for slaughter or relocation to research facilities this winter.
The report says park officials are monitoring overall changes to the geothermal system by measuring the amount of chloride leaving the park through its rivers. Variations in chloride discharge could indicate changes, but no chloride values are outside the normal range at this time, data shows.
Air quality monitored at the west entrance to the park and at Old Faithful during the winter has improved since 2003 with reduced snowmobile traffic, according to the report. Air quality currently meets EPA standards for protection of human health but at times levels of carbon monoxide are up in high-traffic areas of the park.
