Event narrative (NOAA)

Highway 330, one of the main routes to Big Bear in the San Bernardino Mountains, collapsed near mile marker 35 on December 20. The force of the water coming down the mountain washed the hillside out from underneath the road itself, causing the collapse. Repairs to the road could take up to 2 years and $15 million.
