California's warm waters are drawing rare sea creatures north

El Niño and a marine heat wave are bringing warmer ocean water temperatures off the coast of California and with them, in recent weeks, an oddity of sea creatures. From endangered turtles nesting on beaches to a whale shark swimming off San Diego, the coast of Southern California is seeing a wave of marine species not typically found in the region. And while they may be fascinating sights to behold, the warmer waters do more than just pave the way for unusual sea creature sightings; such conditions can also pose risks to the local ecosystem. "It's important to remember that a lot of our local species that we normally find in San Diego aren't quite adapted for these higher temperatures, so we're very closely monitoring those species and trying to figure out how the warm water will affect them and how the ecosystem may change over time as our oceans continue to warm," Zach Merson, a PhD student at the Simmons Lab at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography , said in a Facebook video.

As California’s rainy season gets underway, cleared gutters do not mean the roof valleys above them are clear.

Cleared gutters do not mean the roof valleys above them are clear. Debris tends to collect in valleys and restrict drainage; roof maintenance can reveal potential sources of leaks before the roof leaks. In California, check what you can see safely from the ground now, and leave rooftop clearing and repairs to a roofer. Los Angeles County says its storm season begins in mid-October and typically lasts through early spring.
