Who should pay for the damage in the La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge mudslide?<\/p>\n

Forty-three homes in the communities were damaged, and nine were red-tagged, preventing residents from entering until the structures can be stabilized.<\/p>\n

Mudflows also damaged at least 25 vehicles. The force of debris streaming down the mountain pushed a 10-ton boulder into the drain of a critical catch basin in La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge, stopping it up and propelling mud and debris two miles downhill to Foothill Boulevard. <\/p>\n

La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge Mayor Laura Olhasso said the mud flowed from burned federal lands and therefore the U.S. government should take full responsibility.<\/p>\n
