Everyone, be prepared and alert. Please stay in your home and off the streets unless you need to really go out. If you do go out drive safely and drive slower then the speed limit and increase your fallowing distance. Its is extremely windy and wet out in the streets making it slick. In case tree falls near your home and power lines are hit stay away from them at all times until help arrives. Again, stay inside where it is safe and don’t drive.
Brush fire started today in Cambria at about 1:30 this afternoon. There was not a lot of information on the fire. The fire was located on School House Lane in a field in front of Santa Lucia Middle School. Smoke was visible from Coast Union High School. Its still unclear if any resident of the School House Lane Apartment complex or Students of Santa Lucia Middle School were evacuated. The fire was put out around 2:00-2:30. Agencies responded from the North county. There were about 3-4 air tankers in the area but no actual water drops were observed.
It all started about 12:00 this Saturday as a diver went missing off the Cambria shore near Sherwood Dr. As the Cambria Fire Dept. and Cal Fire scramble to get boats into the ocean, Coast Guard located the missing diver. The diver was found safe and has been transported to a vessel. Just south of this in Shell Beach off Boeker Ave another call when out for a surf rescue. Many engines and fire companies have been called to assist. At the moment its sounds that the kayakers are not in danger and rescue workers are out trying to assist the kayakers in making their way back to shore.

Incident Information from CHP and MedCom
I received this notification from the Cambria Fire Chief this morning:
CAL Fire and State Parks Hearst Castle are planning two prescribed vegetation fires today to reduce existing fuel loads. They will commence, (weather and resource permitting), at 1000 hours near Hearst Castle and the second burn will be near Washburn Campground just north of Cambria sometime after 1100 hours. The3se prescribed burns will put up a lot of smoke and may generate a tremendous amount of calls. We will be providing backup and assistance as needed.
Second note: The Chalk Fire began just north of Nacimiento Ferguson Road in the Las Padres National Forest, on Saturday, and has now burned over 1000 acres. The smoke column is visible from Hwy. 46 and the upper elevations east of Cambria. The fire is moving in our direction and may approach the San Luis Obispo County line in a couple of days.
Be prepared and stay alert to our changing conditions. Remember, until we receive 1-2 inches of rain our Coast area is extremely vulnerable to wildfire, as our watershed and fuels are at their driest point.
Vehicle rollover on South Halcyon Road and Mountain Veiw Road. For CHP CAD the car was doing 90 mph prior to rolling over. Update: The vehicle rolled 35 ft. from the road way according to CHP. Two people where extricated and one patient was transported by San Luis Ambulance to Arroyo Grande Hospital.

See the SLOweather blog for current lightning storm/fires updates. There’s too much going on to post to 2 blogs.
According to KCOY, a body has been found in the search area around the Cerro Alto trail for a missing hiker. Apparently the body “has yet to be identified” as Lance Erik Leage from Morro Bay.
On my way by the area via highway 41 I stopped just long enough to catch this image of the base of the trail.
