Las Lomas Debris Flow, January 2017

Detailed Description

The June 2016 Fish Fire burned over 12 km^2 in Los Angeles County, California. After the fire, the USGS installed an automated rain-triggered camera to monitor post-wildfire flooding and debris flow in a small canyon above the Las Lomas debris basin in Duarte. This GIF shows part of the peak flow triggered by an intense rainstorm on January 20, 2017.
