Claremont neighborhood uses sandbags, hoses to divert rising groundwater that's flooding the area

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:16:14 GMT

Claremont residents are scrambling to protect their homes amid groundwater that is seeping up to the surface.What started as a small trickle has grown into a steady flow, residents of the Stone Canyon neighborhood told KTLA.On streets like Moody Place, hoses and sandbags are diverting water into the street, where it can drain into the gutters. It began earlier this month, but it's only grown in intensity and scale, affecting more and more homes.While this normally occurs during years of heavy rains like this one, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is also letting water out of a nearby dam, though it has not been confirmed if that release of water is contributing to the groundwater seepage.

The Rise and Reign of Queen Kwong

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:16:14 GMT

The Rise and Reign of Queen Kwong: It’s fair to say that Carré Callaway, the enigmatic talent behind improvisational art rock project Queen Kwong, has had a rough few years. She was married to the guitarist from Limp Bizkit, Wes Borland, and then she wasn’t (and who’s to say which is worse?) There have been very public court cases involving her ex, and all of the awfulness that comes with that. And while all of the chaos was raining down, she had to face a life-altering cystic fibrosis diagnosis.She could be forgiven for being a bit down. In conversation though, she’s a fucking delight. Spritely, even. Awkward questions are met with grace and a dab of good humor. She’s charming, eloquent, very sweet and hyper-intelligent.Her new album, not exactly cryptically titled Couples Only, helped. She admits that she was in a difficult place when she entered the studio for the first time at the start of these sessions, but the work was therapeutic. That’s not uncommon among musicians, among a...
