Phil Markgraf, the developer of Airborne Alert and the rest of the Birds of Prey line, is busy digging trenches around his house and sandbagging to try to keep it safe from mudslides. Just a few blocks up the hill, his mother-in-law's house was destroyed when a mudslide pushed it off its foundation. Amazingly, there have been no injuries in the area, even as the number of homes destroyed has climbed.
This YouTube video shows the flooding down the hill from Phil's house. This is actually the good part, because it's running fast and is mostly water.
Needless to say, Phil won't be putting the finishing touches on Airborne Alert this weekend.
