One-seventh of the City of Los Angeles's drinking water passes through Hansen Dam... and this stuff is going down the same channel and into the City's water system.
The sound is to be expected, but the smell was amazing - a mix of smoke, and wet and dirt and sage. Here Little T flows out from under the 210 bridge and cascades into the Hansen Dam basin.
This poor plant on the edge of the main Hansen Dam lake was just minutes from being swallowed up by the incoming torrent.
