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.
Sorry, Sunday got away from me and I almost forgot this.

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!!
I actually pulled back the window covering to see if it had broken the glass! It hadn't...
Garrapatos Road, on the open ridge, our glass tube rain gauge maxed out at 5 inches.
This weather makes a memorable Christmas !
