"California Department of Transportation, known as #Caltrans, said that the state had spent more than $370 million on fixing the #highway after #ExtremeWeather events in the past seven years….Building the road on unstable terrain took ingenuity. Fixing it in a world being rocked by #ClimateChange may take even more….There are more than 1,500 active slide areas in Big Sur.” nytimes.com/2025/05/23/us/paci

  5. #Mudslides, 126-mph winds and feet of snow pummel #California amid #AtmosphericRiver

    The biggest storm so far this winter blasted California with #flooding #downpours, #hurricane-force winds and feet of #snow in the mountains. Some of the worst damage occurred near the #BurnScars from January's deadly #fires.

    "Mudslides, flooding downpours and feet of mountain snow were unleashed across California as the biggest storm so far this winter hit the state, including areas devastated by deadly #wildfires in January.

    "Evacuations were ordered and roads were shut down near the burn scars of the #PalisadesFire and the #EatonFire due to the risk of mudslides, flash flooding and debris flows, including a stretch of the #PacificCoastHighway between #Malibu and #SantaMonica.

    "A person with the Los Angeles Fire Department was swept away in a vehicle amid the flooding but managed to escape with only minor injuries, according to The Associated Press.

    "Bulldozers were needed to clear feet of mud, rock and debris from some roads as the heavy rain ran off the charred mountainsides.

    "'Over 10 inches of rain fell in some areas, including 10.87 at Manchester, on the coast west of #Sacramento, and 9.89 inches at Mining Ridge, 90 miles south of #SanJose,' AccuWeather Meteorologist and Digital Producer Jesse Ferrell said.

    "Rain even fell in California's #DeathValley National Park, with 0.18 of an inch falling in the hottest place in North America. In an entire year, the remote park typically measures 2.20 inches of rain."

  6. “The Quiet Pacific” — The Pacific Ocean on a quiet, overcast morning on the Big Sur Coast.

    There is not a lot happening in this photograph. In fact, the scene was as close to static as ocean scenes can be. It can be quite dramatic and dynamic here, especially if the sun is out, a big swell is generating high surf, the wind is blowing, and wildlife is present. But on this unexpectedly foggy morning it was quite still and most of the tourists were still sipping coffee back in town…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2024/10/29/th
