MONTECITO, Calif. — It’s been three years since Montecito residents woke up to a massive mudslide.
Not only did the devastating debris flow damage and destroy hundreds of homes but tragically, 23 lives were lost.
The mudslide was triggered after heavy rain hit the Thomas Fire burn scar, just weeks after the fire broke out.
Officials say the rainfall on that fateful night was 18 times more than necessary to cause a debris flow on the burned hillsides.
“I jumped out of bed, I looked out the window and there was this huge pulsing red light in the sky,” Bucket Brigade co-founder Abe Powell said. “It looked like the almighty had turned on a siren for all to see and I heard the sound of boulders.”
