  • Just want to verify that this is a closure for South hwy 1 @ Lucia? At least for now, based upon the increase in rain at 3:30.

    • Yes, Shane, the South Coast. Lucia to Ragged Point. This slide happened earlier in the day - mid morning, I think, but it kept at it all day. It will pick up again tonight.

  • Yeah nobody seems to have any more info on this. Was or is there a slide? will they let locals through. Hard closure CHP presence or whats going on anybody know.

  • The closure is between "Paul's slide" and the Hermitage driveway. People stopping in the Lucia store asking why it's closed- like we did it?

  • I made it to town! It was eerily quiet in Palo when I left. There were a bunch of modern tourists headed South taking coastal photos excited by the wind blowing through their hair. I guess they don't know about your blog!

    • LOL, yeah, they will get down to Lucia and ... or if they run the barricades, the risk getting buried in mud and rock. Darwinism at work.

  • Has there been any seed soil recovery usgs surveys done on post fire replenishment areas since these storms have hit full vengeance?

  • Santa Cruz County roads are also taking a beating with road closurers, slides, and sink holes.

  • Kate, have you had any appearances at the Hearst Estate- is this place the jewel of SLO area off hwy 1?
