Frequently asked questions

Most of Southern California peaks in February. Why does a January cell matter more on Mission Creek?

Because this gauge's wettest month is January. The Santa Ynez wring storms on a south face the LA basin does not have. A 4.43 inch January on The Mesa sits in the slab from the creek and the debris basins. Waiting for a February peak imported from Orange County will miss the month that actually leads.

Goleta is nine miles west. Is a Mesa pad their coastal-plain job?

Goleta is a different plain and a different set of creeks. This city fails as Mission Creek, debris basins, and a marine terrace through The Mesa and the Funk Zone. Following Goleta will explain a campus plain this lot does not sit on, and a January cell on the Santa Ynez face will still be the local peak.

The mountains look far from the Waterfront. Why would a debris basin still find a cottage there?

The basins are the first stop, not the last. What they cannot hold runs Mission Creek to the beach. A Waterfront cottage can take January from the creek mouth and from tide in the same week. A Mesa pad takes it from the overflow. One cell, two shelves.
