  • I am trapped here. Even though the situation is scary but I would like to thank all the police men, Road workers and the locals who drove by just to give us updates and tell us where we can find food, gas and wifi.

  • We’re stuck here as well but everyone has been extremely helpful in trying to get us updates. What worries us the most is not knowing when we can get through, food, where to stay, etc. Someone told us it could be a few days…yikes!
    Thank you for posting updates.

    • In the past, helicopters have been brought in to rescue people. Our Emergency Service personnel are experts at this. We have been known to have the US Army reserves, Coast Guard, or who and whatever is necessary help out. Just think of the adventure you will be able to share with family ad friends!!!

  • @BigSurKate what are your favorite activities to do in between the southbound and northbound closures?

    • Sing with the birds. Talk to the trees. Dance in the rain. Write and read poetry. Right now, I am also making room to take care of my demented, addled, Alzhimer’s challenged ex. And my number one activity? Find the beauty and humor in everyone and everything.

  • Hello Kate, thank you for your positive attitude and the information you provide. If I understand, this problem completely isolates big sur and makes it inaccessible for the coming days.

    • That is correct. It has happened before, so we are not unfamiliar with the horrific logistics of this problem. Helicopters will be brought in by the military to transport people out of the area and to get supplies into the area. It will be days before this will be worked out.

  • Hi! I'm a news producer for Weather.com - We'd like to feature the pictures from the slip-out for a story today. Can you please put in contact with Mary Moore, remainder by Ivy Jayne LaVelle.
