Frequently asked questions
The hills wrung the storm out over us and the valley floor took all of it. Why?
An enclosed valley has no unused room. The coastal hills squeeze the storm out here and the floor has nowhere to spread it, so Forrester Creek flashes across the slabs instead of carrying it away. The shape of the valley is the constraint.
A rain-shadow box valley. How is a Bostonia slab still a February job?
Because February is a large share of a rain-shadow year, and decomposed granite sheds it into the floor. The covering has been baking since April. The first cell then ponds on Forrester silt. A dry climate opens; the box then soaks through those openings all at once.
A Cajon Heights pad. Does Forrester Creek still take the granite dump?
As a flood, no. As the drain, yes. Granite sheds into the valley, and a February cell keeps the downhill pads wet whether the house is on the height. The creek job is the floor. The shed job is the granite.
