    "Traffic Alert: Topanga Canyon Closed for Storm Safety

    Caltrans will fully close Topanga Canyon Blvd between Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Grand View Dr starting 9PM Tues, 12/23, due to forecasted heavy rain and potential for mud and debris flows in the Palisades Fire recovery area. No exact ETA for reopening, but the closure is expected through at least Fri, 12/26 with conditions reassessed daily.

    The National Weather Service is forecasting significant rainfall Tuesday night through Saturday, with the heaviest impacts expected late Tuesday into Wednesday and again on Thursday, Christmas Day. Mud and debris flows are possible.

    Expect mud, rocks and water on all roads. Expect delays, and avoid travel if possible - especially around burn scars. Drive cautiously and use headlights in the rain, watch for workers and work vehicles. Come to a complete stop at any malfunctioning traffic signal under CA law."

  3. Through Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Amateur Radio Triumphs When All Else Fails

    While some residents in hurricane-impacted areas can’t send texts or make calls, #AmateurRadio enthusiasts are helping communicate requests for help and messages between loved ones.

    "Hurricanes have wreaked havoc on the United States over the past month. More than 200 people have been confirmed dead as a result of #HurricaneHelene and many more have gone missing, making it the most destructive US hurricane since Katrina in 2005. Nearly a week after Helene made landfall, #CellService #DeadZones plagued the Carolinas, leaving thousands of residents unable to reach their friends, families, and even emergency responders. As #HurricaneMilton builds in the Gulf of Mexico this week, radio operators in #Florida are also preparing to launch their net—a group of operators communicating live over the air. Scott Roberts, an amateur radio section manager for northern Florida, said that operators in his area started checking their equipment and making plans to deploy to shelters as of Monday.

    "There are more than 1 million licensed radio amateurs in the US like Witherspoon and Roberts, according to a Federal Communications Commission spokesperson who spoke to WIRED last week. Some amateur radio bands are short bands, reaching only small communities of people, while others cover hundreds and even thousands of miles. When #CommunicationInfrastructure fails, like #CellularNetworks during a natural disaster, the FCC allows for amateur radio operators to assist in recovery efforts.

    "Gordon Mooneyhan, spokesperson for the American Radio Relay League, said he knows of three main #repeaters being used to convey messages inside the disaster area from Hurricane Helene, including the #MountMitchellRepeater, which is located at the highest point in #NorthCarolina at 6,600 feet and boosts localized radio broadcasts to a wider network. This is where Witherspoon read off supply requests and #RoadClosures."
