Woman swept away by rising tide amid hazardous Central Coast conditions

The search for a 24-year-old woman believed to have been swept into the ocean during rising tide in Santa Cruz County has been suspended, underscoring how quickly conditions can become dangerous along the Central Coast. Coast Guard officials suspended the search for 24-year-old Se Nah Park, who was swept into the ocean during high tide in Santa Cruz County, on Monday, the agency announced Tuesday, Nov. 10. Monterey County is among areas on the California coast contending with higher tides and stronger surf this season as dangerous surf, powerful rip currents and sneaker waves create hazardous conditions and increase the risk of flooding . The National Weather Service this week issued beach hazard statements for several coastal regions, including beaches along the Central Coast, San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California. A coastal flood advisory remains in effect for Monterey County and the Big Sur coast through at least Nov. 13. Officials warn that high tides could flood low-lying areas, cause isolated road closures and coastal erosion, and push water farther up beaches, potentially trapping visitors in coastal areas.

Lookout tasted 11 pumpkin pies in Santa Cruz County. These two are the best.

Every fall, while Americans argue over the best way to cook turkey, the real star of Thanksgiving sits quietly on the dessert table, waiting to be smothered in whipped cream. For many, stuffing a wedge of pumpkin pie or three down your pie hole is an essential part of the third Thursday in November. More pumpkin pies than poultry are eaten during this culinary holiday — 50 million pies versus a mere 46 million turkeys. While some consider a confection made from squash controversial, pumpkin pie fans far outweigh the naysayers. It’s the most popular holiday pie, beating out apple and pecan by double digits.
