Slide north of Hurricane Point covering both lanes, another near Soberanes Point. Trees and power lines down at Fernwood. Mud Creek is very active again, and then there are all those in between. Highway closed to ALL from Ragged Point to Fernwood earlier, but now extended to Crab Lab. Full Closure to everyone between.
Got word that Esalen is planning a massive evac of 60 by helicopter when there is a break in the weather. Cannot confirm as their land lines and Satellite Internet are both down.

Thanks for the info. Hope everyone is staying home and safe.
Where's Crab Lab?
"Crab Lab" is a nickname for the Marine Pollution Studies Laboratory, a facility just north of the Granite Canyon bridge, and south of Soberanes Point.
I think I may have reversed Granite Canyon and Soberanes Point in my postings somewhere...

Hey, Three big cheers to the county crew clearing the tree from Plaskett Ridge Rd. this morning! Right-on crew! Big root balls full of sludgy mud, narrow twisting road and pouring rain and they killed it. Big appreciation and gratitude for their work! Thank you.
I was so tickled to hear it was cleared today, when County actually said it would be. Here is toasting the County Road Crew in San Ardo. I owe you one next time I see you. Thanks.
It just gets better and better doesn't it. Poor Big Sur is getting slammed
