Posted by Anna Atlea · May 25, 2017

"An especially wet winter was largely welcomed across California this season for the relief it brought to a region suffering from severe drought. But for residents of Big Sur along the state’s central coast, an increased number of landslides and road closures have proven particularly problematic. The latest of which, a slide that covered a 1/3 mile stretch of Highway 1, is being called unprecedented. The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office posted a video on Facebook of the devastation with the following explanation: 'MCSO airplane Idaho 90 up in the air to put eyes on the recent landslide at Mud Creek in Big Sur. The slide went from bad to worse over the weekend and the video will give you a glimpse at the undertaking needed to open the road again.'" - The Inertia's Dylan Heyden (@hey_dylan) Read more about the Big Sur landslide on theinertia.com/environment☝️Link in our bio. #bigsur #landslide #TheInertiaEnvironment #MTNlife
