| Description: | "EXTREMES MEET - Terrific cloudburst hits "Sunny California" killing scores - burying houses - cars - even trains in mud!" Los Angeles, California, United States of America (USA). Shot of men digging out mud and dirt from a suburban area, perhaps there are roads that have been covered by land that slid down with the rain. Shot of what appears to be a sink hole or other erosion damage. Shots of same area showing destroyed and damaged houses, with the wall of one house crushing a car and another house with a truck turned on its side. Debris is everywhere. Shot of a mud-filled coupe. Shot over derailed freight cars toward a river. Shot of some sort of parking area inundated by mud, and a few people starting to dig them out (the cars look fairly new). | |
