Record-breaking El Niño could hit SLO County. Join us for a live forum

As the Central Coast braces for a historic Super El Niño, the San Luis Obispo Tribune will host a virtual panel discussion on how residents can prepare for the rain, high tides and potential flooding. Meteorologist John Lindsey and SLO County Emergency Operations Center Director Scotty Jalbert will answer questions on Zoom about the El Niño on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 6 to 7 p.m. The panel will be moderated by San Luis Obispo Tribune reporter Stephanie Zappelli. People can register for the free event at bit.ly/4z1fVS7 . During the event, Lindsey will explain how an El Niño develops and how it is expected to impact the Central Coast. Forecasting models predict a record-breaking El Niño this winter, which would bring strong storms, elevate sea levels and create conditions for flooding in San Luis Obispo County — especially on the coast. So far, the forecast calls for a typical November and December, with large storms in January, February and March, but no one can be certain about the weather until it arrives, he said. Jalbert will also speak at the event to help county residents sign up for emergency alerts and take action to prepare their household for winter. The

El Niño brings dangerous high tides, chance of flooding to SLO County ahead of rain

The El Niño will show off on the Central Coast this week, bringing extremely high tides and strong rip currents to San Luis Obispo County beaches on Monday and Tuesday, and a chance of rain later in the week. A coastal flood advisory and high surf advisory are in effect for San Luis Obispo County beaches until Tuesday at noon, according to the National Weather Service. High tides of up to 7 feet may cause moderate flooding in low-lying coastal areas like beach parking lots, bike paths and harbor walkways. Meanwhile, beaches can expect large breaking waves of 10 to 16 feet with dangerous rip currents. The weather service urged people to stay out of the water. “There is an increased risk for ocean drowning,” the weather service said. “Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.” San Luis Obispo County can expect sunny skies and temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The forecast then calls for a chance of rain on Friday, and mostly sunny skies with a slight chance of rain on Saturday night.

Ending the wildfire crisis begins with smart policy | Your Turn

The Palisades Fire was the latest reminder of the threat catastrophic wildfire poses to Southern California. Unfortunately, Californians know all too well the devastation that wildfire season brings. With nearly 50 years of experience in the fire service, 15 as the Ventura County Fire Chief, I have been on the frontline defending homes from encroaching blazes. I have also had to stand with families as they pick through the rubble of their once-forever home. No person should ever have to stand on the blackened foundation of their home. Nor should they have to flee to a hotel for evacuation, not knowing if they will have anything to return to. We need to find a comprehensive, national solution to the growing wildfire crisis so no family has to face that sort of devastation. Fire chiefs, land managers, and scientists know what it will take to break this cycle. We need to look at fire as a natural component in our wildland ecology, and learn to manage our land and work with fire to prevent catastrophic disasters. Wildfire has long been a component of California’s wildland. In a balanced ecosystem, fires occur at natural intervals and burn at a low intensity. The
