flooding..and these barriers are meant to help keep that in check.the vegetation has burned off so the water will be running off quicker the soils ability to absorb water may be less so there might be more water going into the creeks than normal.this green stuff you see on the hillside is called hydro mulching..it helps keep the soil in place and binds with the soil to provide a protective cover.it's being used to help stabiles slopes and hillside because there is an increased of risk of landslides.which is not a huge concern during this storm, since it's not expected to be a gusher.but if the rain comes down hard enough crews will be out patrolling the fire zones checking for flooding and make sure the protections they have in place are working.maureen kelly kron4 news.

as detachable magazines with military style charactaristics like a telescoping stock and pistol grip.it bans magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. which democrats say allows shooters to fire quickly without reloading.it would also ban bump stocks which we've heard so much about authorities said they were used by the shooter in las vegas.sen jack reed / rhode island (d)i spent 12 years in the army, they were designed for military purposes for maximum fire, to take out the enemy. they should be off our streets.it would require universal background checks for all gun sales and transfers sen. richard blumenthal / connecticut (d)nobody should never say never in the us senate, when it is the right side of the issue and the right side of history, which a ban on assault weapons is. we had one for many years and it expired we should reinstate it. in the wake of the shootings

in las vegas and texasrepublic an law makers say they don't think new lawssen. mike rounds / south dakota (r)youre not going to get the support to actually take out certain types of guns and say because it can hold more than so many bullets or because it's a particular style that somehow its more dangerous than others. alex limon tagthe bill grandfathers in people who already own the guns and accessories that would be bannedand it inclued exemptions for weapons specifically used for hunting. despite that it has a very slim chance at passing under the republican controlled congress.
