Why did it happen? What's been going on with subsoil conditions there for the last 25 years? Any idea what the subsoil consists of? Different types of soil have different coefficients of friction which respond differently to cyclic moisture variations. The surface tension of water helps bind soil together, but when the moisture leaves, so does the cohesive properties of the surface tension. Adding water on top of dry soil adds weight, increasing the possibility of mudslides when the subsoil is not bound by moisture. But, yeah, science, I know. You don't do science, right?

"They just had a big mudslide in Laytonville, ca. Right across 101'' 40 miles north. "didn't happen because of the AGW drought either" Correct; it was the AGW rain; we were expecting this last year with El Nino, but it was delayed a year. Rat’s a fan of non-violent civil disobedience, and, at times, has thought about turning a demonstration along the highway into a sit-in on the highway when an extreme event requires more than just a march. Fittingly enuf, as the climate march approaches, Mother Nature decided to shut it down herself. This slide has been going on for a while. Cal-trans gets 1 lane open, and then more rain causes renewed sliding. Highway 101 north of Leggett closed again after second slide willitsnews.com
