UrgentCoastal flood warning through Thursday: tides are running higher than predicted

1 of 3

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a coastal flood warning until Thursday the 29th at 1 PM. Tides are coming in 1.5 to 1.7 ft higher than the tables say, so the late-morning high tide (Tuesday 9:51, Wednesday 10:29, Thursday 11:13) may reach around 8 feet. If you live on the seafront, stay off patios, the walkway and the seawalls around those times, and never turn your back on the ocean.

No power from casa 31 to casa 47 — the main breaker burned out

The main breaker on the module that feeds casas 31 through 47 has burned out. There is no power along that stretch.

The breaker is burned, not tripped. Please do not try to reset it and do not open the module. Forcing a burned breaker back on is how fires start.

The office is arranging the replacement and we will post again as soon as service is restored.

This is exactly what the electrical infrastructure fund pays for. The salt air corrodes the hardware inside these modules the same way it takes out the walkway lamps we have been replacing, and the main breakers are now failing one at a time.

If you are on this stretch and something in your house was on when the power went, unplug it. Service coming back is not always gentle.
