CLUNKER TRAVEL: It’s a weather axiom: the harder the rains, the bigger the potholes left in their path (B1). . . . “It’s a pain, but it’s gonna happen,” says Bill Morris, Costa Mesa city engineer. County motorists were dodging them on surface streets and even the freeways. Most cities reported that they’re making road repairs as fast as possible. Morris has spent much of his time driving around and calling in potholes to be repaired. Most damage is to older streets, he says: “Nothing that a whole lot of money wouldn’t cure.”
