1962 - Burbank Home Damaged in Mudslide
1962
Burbank Daily Review Feb 12, 1962: "A flash flood roared down Country Club Drive in Sunset Canyon early this morning hurling one auto end over for several hundred yards and nearly burying the members of one family asleep in their home. Except for a warning by Ernest Vasquez, a city employee, that 'the whole thing was coming down,' architect Joe Jordan and his family probably would have drowned in their beds. A tidal wave of water, mud and debris, including boulders, ripped through the architect's home at 205 Country Club Drive after a downpour of nearly one-half inch of rain at about 4 o'clock this morning."
