Today's riddle: Why was the scarecrow given an award? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Kelvin Wave: California Sea Levels to Rise a Foot (developmentstoday.com) — Laguna Beach faces days of elevated sea levels as a Kelvin wave tied to El Niño pushes water up the California coast, sharply increasing local flood and erosion risks. Recent storms have already left several nearby homes uninhabitable, and residents are urged to watch for the overlap of high tides, storm surge, and large swells that could further damage beaches and property.
• 10 Small Towns in Southern California with the Best Downtowns (worldatlas.com) — Downtown Laguna Beach gets a spotlight as one of Southern California's most walkable, character-filled small-town centers, blending beach life with galleries and public art. The article suggests strolling from Main Beach up to the Promenade on Forest, then visiting Laguna Art Museum and Heisler Park, while also comparing Laguna's charm with other distinctive downtowns across the region.
• El Niño's effects on aging California schools may be severe, experts warn (laist.com) — Laguna Beach public schools are bracing for a potentially harsh El Niño winter that could worsen existing roof leaks and other aging-building issues, according to the district superintendent. Statewide, officials warn that a powerful El Niño and associated coastal flooding could force school closures, especially in vulnerable coastal and floodplain areas, prompting districts to prepare sandbags, repairs, and contingency plans now.
