California To Be Hit By Mudslides After Fires

One byproduct of major wildfires is that they can partially destroy the root systems of bushes and trees. This raises the risk that they cannot hold earth in place when there are heavy rains. The result is that, after major fires, downpours bring mudslides.
According to Accuweather, some of the major fires still burning could be put out, at least partially. The additional effect is explained by AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Heather Zehr. “People near burn scar areas need to be aware of the threat that dangerous debris flows and mudslides are possible.”

Some of the ash and toxic chemicals could also wash into rivers and other areas with drinking water. A storm that caused similar problems hit California. On November 22, the LA Times reported, “An atmospheric river dumping rain across Northern California and several feet of snow in the Sierra was making its way across the state Friday, bringing flooding and threatening mudslides along with it.” While this storm was north of LA, similar storms have hit it.One byproduct of major wildfires is that they can partially destroy the root systems of bushes and trees.

The terrible byproducts of the rain are nearly as bad as those created by wildfires. They can destroy large numbers of houses and businesses, cripple infrastructure, tax emergency management crews, and eventually raise property insurance rates.
The weather cycle in California has become almost annual, and the state is not prepared for that.
