Real photos of Highway 17 and Skyline in the Santa Cruz Mountains this week

These are real photos taken this very week of what's going on in the
mountains where Jeff Liebermann lives due to the Pineapple Express dropping
unheard of rain in California (drought my ass!).

Highway 17 landslide turns car over, blocks both lanes, and cleanup crew
killed. http://i.cubeupload.com/VD5wTr.jpg

Hole in Skyline along the crest of the mountain ridge above the San Andreas
Fault opened up this week.

Why people in vans even think to attempt a crossing is beyond me.

i doubt he was attempting to cross it. more likely he was not paying
any attention and only realized it when it was too late.

Said with your usual knowledge of the facts:

since you claim to have the facts, what was the driver's intention?

was he texting? did his brakes fail? were his tires bald?

or did he think he was evel knievel?

we await the answers.

Exactly where did I make a positive statement of fact, other than my
observation about your knowledge of the facts that support your
conclusion. But then just another attempt at a twist.

"I saw what I thought was mud, I stepped on the brake, and it was too
late," he said.

California drizzle.

It's always possible that the hole got there after the van did.

Yes... It could have been an occurrence of an unscheduled twist in the
time space continuum. The boss gets vimy occasionally! ;-))

I wrote that before I realised that I was near the top of a long
thread. Lower down I read the actual explanation. Nevertheless I may
have been partly right. It could have been that the first time he
crossed that section of the road it was covered with flowing mud. When
he came back he again thought the road was (as he said) covered with
mud but by then it was a hole.
