I wonder if this has the potential to happen down Burbank


I don’t think that area flooded, did it?

Maybe a few isolated cases, but from what I saw Burbank area was ok.

Burbank in 2016 fared ok but I can almost guarantee if that rain comes again, there will be devastation. Since 2016, there has been mass development and removal of forestry along Burbank. More concrete and less land to soak up water is a bad combo. The new Walmart, new neighborhoods along the Burbank and siegan curve (hilarious how close those homes are to the creek).
