Big Sur

Weather Reports, Christmas Eve

As is usual, South Coast of Big Sur got the highest amount of rain. Winds were pretty horrific, too. One resident of almost 40-50 years said it was the worst he had ever seen. Another said it was like a bomb went off. From my perch, I have experienced worst, at least twice I can remember, but this is not yet over, expecting to go on through Friday.

For power outages in Monterey County, here are two of the PG&E maps:

For San Luis Obispo, the Tribune reports:

Rain and wind is expected all day Wednesday as well as Christmas Day, according to the forecast.

In total, the storm is projected to bring around 3 to 5 inches of rain in coastal valleys, with as much as 8 inches of rain in more mountainous parts of SLO County, according to the National Weather Service’s forecast discussion.

  • Cayucos. 12-24-25. So far 10:28 AM, just 1&1/2" in rain gauge. Wind not bad except for plastic garbage containers.

  • Couldn't get to sleep till 4am, so much noise as the sw side of the house was just hammered and pounded. Sometimes it sounded like a jet engine on the other side of the window.

  • Hey, Soaring…I had a jet engine outside my window, too. And what I suspect might I have been a low growling whistle coming down one of my chimneys!!
