Mud Slide

This mud slide occurred in the Ventura area, less than 30 miles south of Santa Barbara.

Here are some pictures:

I was driving on that section of the 101 less than 48 hours before those pictures were taken. It was raining hard enough that many people were driving below the speed limit, but I never really considered that this could happen. This morning during a prayer meeting at Church, a man shared about a close friend of his that was killed by the mud slide.

It puts it into perspective when my only complaint is that the rain makes me wet and cold.
