    El Nino storms delivering crashing waves and powerful rain
    storms have put homes perched atop coastal bluffs near San
    Francisco in danger, forcing residents of an apartment complex
    on Monday to leave.

    Two clifftop homes have been evacuated, joining several other
    nearby houses and apartment buildings abandoned in past years,
    the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

    Pacifica City Manager Lorie Tinfow on Friday declared a local
    state of emergency, prompted by storm damage to the coastal city
    about 10 miles south of San Francisco.

    "El Nino is hitting the city's coastline very hard and creating
    almost daily reports of impacts to both public and private
    property," she said in a statement.

    Storms in 2003 began shearing off huge chunks of the sandstone
    cliffs in Pacifica. Several of the homes and apartments were
    abandoned in 2010.

    Officials since then shored up the bluffs, stacking rocks at the
    base of the cliff to break the crashing waves. They also drilled
    reinforcement rods into the bluffs and coated the cliff-faces
    with reinforced concrete. The cliffs had held in the last four
    years of drought, but the newspaper reports that they are no
    match for recent storms.

    A YouTube video posted Saturday shows a large chunk of the cliff
    breaking off under a vacated apartment building. Parts of other
    homes and their back patios are left precariously hanging.
    Storms have also damaged a seawall and the Pacifica Pier,
    popular with tourists and anglers, partially closing it.

    More rain expected

    Skies over Northern California have temporarily cleared,
    following a series of pounding January storms. The newspaper
    reports that the next round of rain could wash over by mid-week.

    Officials on Monday tagged an apartment complex of about 20
    units as unsafe, ordering residents to pack their things and be
    out by sunset. Residents scrambled to find someplace to go.

    Jonathan Levine, who had lived in there for more than a year,
    said he would stay with friends. "I don't want to leave," he
    told the Associated Press. "It was just matter of time."

    This is not a state of emergency, it is a continuing state of
    stupidity in building so near an eroding cliff.

    Pacifica is not what would normally be classified as a 'ghetto'. Yes, it is an isolated community, but that's because of geography, not socio-economic or ethnic isolation. Though it is isolated for poor rednecks who can't afford it.

    I'm not sure of the point of the post since Pacifica is usually a preferred target of wingnut outrage. I guess if El Nino can be blamed on Obama, all of Pacifica's sins are forgiven.

    Not exactly a pounding as much as a pulsing stream of storm. Individual storms have dumped an appreciated rain or snow, with pauses that allow the water to soak in and percolated downhill to reservoirs. We've been blessed so far with a lack of major slides.

    The basins and valleys have thousands of feet of alluvial fill from ancient landslides and erosion from the mountains into valleys. The gravel layers make aquifers and the soil makes farms.

    understand why their wonderful house overlooking the river fills up

    I have no problem whatsoever with someone building a house on an eroding
    cliff, if they bear the cost of building and maintaining it.
    However, any insurance they buy should be in a high risk pool, and there
    should be absolutely no government money spent on their behalf.

    But corrupt government officials won't enforce sane building codes. In the Pasadena area there is the fire/mudslide problem that the communities solve
    not by fewer or no houses, but by building debris basins that have to be cleaned out after every rain.

    Dumbshits should suffer consequences for knowing and ignoring risks.
