LANDSLIDE - A lesson in sedimentation and erosion!

Usually I associated gas stations with air, surface, and ground water pollution revolving around hydrocarbons. Today was a different story.

This shot demonstrates the shear ferocity of the flow, the depth and speed. Note the dirty / muddy appearance.



















This picture was taken at the east end of the parking lot for the strip mall that houses Wild Oats in Beachwood. The parking lot had such a torrent of rainwater flowing across it that it caused what appeared to be a mini landslide + some serious erosion. A roadway just off Chagrin was closed for some time as a result. Note the police cars, collapsing pavement, and toppling telephone poles.
