The Friday afternoon commute

California SR 23, at the bridge over the Santa Clara River. The Santa Clara is the last natural river in Southern California, meaning that it has not been channelized and is allowed to follow its natural course. On March 12, 1928, the St. Francis Dam broke upstream and flooded several towns, including Fillmore (seen directly ahead) and Santa Paula. Fillmore was visited by disaster yet again in 1994, when the Northridge earthquake severely damaged its historic downtown area.
