Description

Similar photographs of the same flood event appear with the article, "THREE DIE IN SEA LASHED BY RETREATING STORM: Santa Monica Rescue Efforts Fail; Deluge Sweeps Canyon Colony; More Bridges Washed Out," Los Angeles Times, 09 Apr. 1926: A1
A stream of flood waters occupies the foreground at left and extends back behind its bank to the right. Its near bank, in the foreground at right, is muddy and covered in debris, including what appears to be wood siding. On the far bank and at center, a debris pile of rocks and boulders sits in front of a debris pile of lumber and wood. A few men stand atop the wood pile and comb through it. To the left of them, and nearer to the bank, several men carry a large object. Trees rise from the canyon floor as it stretches into the distance.
