Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Local Event: Rain Barrel Giveaway - November 14 (Malibu) (patch.com) — Malibu residents can pick up free rain barrels at Malibu City Hall on November 14, helping cut water bills while conserving water and reducing runoff. Eligible households in the West Basin service area must register online beforehand, and barrels are first-come, first-served, so arriving early is encouraged.
2. No. 11 Water Polo Opens WCC Play at No. 14 LMU (pepperdinewaves.com) — Pepperdine's 11th-ranked men's water polo team, based in Malibu, opens West Coast Conference play today at No. 14 LMU after a strong showing against top-ranked UCLA. Local fans can follow standout scorer Erik Ionescu and emerging star Hunter Danko as the Waves begin a four-game conference stretch leading into November's WCC tournament. It's a key early test for Malibu's home team.
3. CA About To Go Petal To The Medal On Speed Cameras: When And Where 185 Cameras Go Live (patch.com) — Malibu drivers will soon face active speed cameras along Pacific Coast Highway, with a 60-day warning period now delayed to November as the city refines its traffic study. Early tests at four Malibu locations logged about 100,000 speeding violations in just over a week, mostly in eastern Malibu, as part of a statewide pilot that's already slashing speeding elsewhere.
4. No single point of failure in Palisades fire response: Report (newsnationnow.com) — Malibu residents get new insight into how last year's Palisades Fire reached local beachfront properties, as a state-ordered report finds no single failure but many communication and coordination breakdowns. Researchers detail overwhelmed 911 systems, tracking lapses, and training gaps, while also offering 266 recommendations to improve wildfire readiness across Los Angeles-area communities, including better technology and mop-up standards.
5. El Niño causes ocean phenomenon waves to raise California sea levels (amedpost.com) — Malibu's already-eroded coastline, including spots where waves recently crashed over Pacific Coast Highway and a sinkhole opened at a local home, could face even higher sea levels in coming days. A powerful El Niño–driven Kelvin wave is expected to raise ocean heights by up to a foot along California, increasing local risks of flooding and further beach and bluff erosion.
