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).


And lets not even discuss what would happen to all living West of Highland rd to the levee if the Levee would break.
