Bystanders watch as flood water ravages this street. Can you believe that this is still happening in LA county. Why? Its simple. There are not enough catch bins on the city streets to take in the watershed in a given area, the drains simply lack the capacity to handle what our pacific skies drops upon us, or the catch bins malfunction from neglected trash and built up debris along the basin gratings. _______________________________#BelowLA _________________________ ᑭᖇEᔕEᑎTIᑎG ᗩ ᑭEᖇᔕᑭEᑕTIᐯE Oᖴ ᒪOᔕ ᗩᑎGEᒪEᔕ YOᑌ ᕼᗩᐯE ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᔕEEᑎ ᗷEᖴOᖇE! _______________________________________________________________________ #mtb #ladpw #ladwp #lafcd #urbanphotography #losangeles #floods #losangeleshistory #flooding #floodcontrol #california #naturaldisaster #stormdrain #civilengineer #cityofangels #elysianvalley #oldphoto #lacounty #larain #losangelesriver #lariver #urbanexploration #destruction #hollywood #mountainbiking #fixie #history #bmx #angeleno https://www.instagram.com/p/B8KCpoxgSlP/?igshid=1s1htgc6s470r

Another flooded street in LA [1932]. The more I look at these old LA flood pics the more I imagine all the thought, time, and energy to make our city habitable. It took a ton of work involving much trial and error. Today we have a system designed specifically for the contour of LAs up-and -down topography. The flood control district soon eventually installed catch bins on the streets to capture accumulated runoff and remove it from the road and into miles of long reinforced concrete boxes/tunnels designed to move water off the streets as quickly as possible. _____________________#BelowLA__________________________________ ᑭᖇEᔕEᑎTIᑎG ᗩ ᑭEᖇᔕᑭEᑕTIᐯE Oᖴ ᒪOᔕ ᗩᑎGEᒪEᔕ YOᑌ ᕼᗩᐯE ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᔕEEᑎ ᗷEᖴOᖇE! __________________________________________________________________ #mtb #ladpw #ladwp #lafcd #urbanphotography #losangeles #floods #losangeleshistory #flooding #floodcontrol #california #naturaldisaster #stormdrain #civilengineer #cityofangels #elysianvalley #oldphoto #lacounty #larain #losangelesriver #lariver #urbanexploration #destruction #hollywood #mountainbiking #fixie #history #bmx #angeleno https://www.instagram.com/p/B8J_4n1gTIR/?igshid=bvmnbgxi9ccc

A rainy day in LA [1932]. The hills in Los Angeles will always present challenges in more ways than one. _____________________#BelowLA________________________________ ᑭᖇEᔕEᑎTIᑎG ᗩ ᑭEᖇᔕᑭEᑕTIᐯE Oᖴ ᒪOᔕ ᗩᑎGEᒪEᔕ YOᑌ ᕼᗩᐯE ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᔕEEᑎ ᗷEᖴOᖇE! _______________________________________________________________ #mtb #ladpw #ladwp #lafcd #urbanphotography #losangeles #floods #losangeleshistory #flooding #floodcontrol #california #naturaldisaster #stormdrain #civilengineer #cityofangels #elysianvalley #oldphoto #lacounty #larain #losangelesriver #lariver #urbanexploration #destruction #hollywood #mountainbiking #fixie #history #bmx #angeleno https://www.instagram.com/p/B8J3QrPg4PS/?igshid=s4yw2h9jkc4y
