Like out of a Hollywood disaster script, historic rain from a powerful storm hits Los Angeles, causing over 300 mudslides and landslides that crushed luxurious california mansions putting paradise in peril. The record-breaking "atmospheric river", caused floods, mudslides and landslides that knocked homes off of foundations and buried cars. Even the wealthy 90210 zip code wasn't spared!
This short documentary takes you ground-level into the heart of the disaster, showing exclusive angles of flooding, crushed homes, buried cars, and the heroic efforts of rescuers.
At UCLA in Westwood, over 1 foot of rain fell shattering a record that had stood since 1934 when just over 8 inches fell.
But LA also surprised with its flood resilience, outperforming major cities like Miami or New York. How'd they do it? We explore the city's surprisingly effective flood management systems, contrasting them with other major cities.
