#90272 Atmospheric River #Deluge: Thursday, Jan. 12, 2017

Dateline: Between approximately 10 a.m. - 11 a.m., Thursday, January 12, 2017 in Pacific Palisades, the third round (at least) of the anticipated Atmospheric River event brought a heavy downpour of rain that caused runoff and some flooding along Sunset Blvd. in the village.  Here are the photos and videos:

Runoff below along Swarthmore just east of Sunset Blvd...


Sunset and Swarthmore...













In the lower left corner of the photo below, is a Havaianas sandal lost by a lady crossing Sunset Blvd. at Swarthmore from west to east.  I had just crossed ahead of her in the opposite direction and my tennis shoes were soaked from the near one foot deep deluge of water running along the curb along Sunset in the direction of Norris Hardware, etc...  I was able to observe said sandal which about 100 feet later got pushed off to the side of the tide.  When I returned 10 - 15 minutes later it was still there and during a long break in the traffic I retrieved it and placed it on the walk signal button box at Swarthmore (see photos below)...

x-ref: Trademark Trivia:  HAVIANAS® is a registered trademark for sandals, etc....  just sayin'...

Happy Ending for this Havaianas sandal!... successfully rescued from the flood waters and now perched on top of the walk button at Swarthmore and Sunset.....



Be careful out there...
