Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Mud

I deplore tragedies, but it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

What was that,
asshole?

"Deputies warn of mudslide threat"

LOS ANGELES - Southern California's weather turned from dangerously dry to extremely wet yesterday as a storm dropped rain on areas burned in recent wildfires, raising the threat of flash floods and mudslides. Sheriff's deputies in Orange County prepared to go door-to-door in burned areas to advise people of a voluntary evacuation recommendation due to the risk of mudslides, said Lieutenant Ted Boyne. Deputies were starting with about 300 homes in two canyons and were assembling teams of deputies in case they needed to alert more homeowners, he said (AP)."
