As Crescenta Valley residents gathered to ring in the 1934 New
Year, a cloudburst broke over Southern California's San Gabriel
Mountains, unleashing a deluge on mountainsides denuded by recent
fires. A roaring wall of rocks, mud and water crashed down the
canyons, uprooting trees, tossing boulders and automobiles like
toys and carving a path of destruction. Using painstaking research
and heart-rending firsthand accounts, historian Art Cobery paints a
picture of survival and redemption in the face of natural disaster,
including the heroic efforts of eleven-year-old Marcie Warfield to
save her father and younger brother, the devastating debris flow
that claimed the lives of refugees and aid workers at the American
Legion Hall and the selfless acts of neighbors caught in the storm
of events.
