1. Tropical Storm Rachel swamps San Diego County with heavier-than-expected rain (kansas.com) — Tropical Storm Rachel's remnants dumped far more rain than expected across San Diego County, flooding roads, damaging coastal areas, and prompting multiple dramatic water rescues in neighborhoods from Bay Ho to Logan Heights and Coronado. Power outages, dangerous surf, and swollen rivers affected communities countywide, while San Diego Fire-Rescue and lifeguards responded to dozens of collisions, downed wires, and several life-saving rescues.
2. Coast Guard rescues man from sinking boat off Coronado (fox5sandiego.com) — A man was dramatically rescued from a partially submerged sailboat off Coronado after a pre-dawn 911 call brought in San Diego-based Coast Guard crews. With shallow, hazardous waters blocking boat access, a helicopter swimmer broke through the cabin roof, freed the trapped man, and flew him to shore for medical evaluation.
3. Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor (HS Clinical, Clinical X) Academic Cytopathologist/Surgical Pathologist (ucsd.edu) — A new cytopathologist and surgical pathologist position is open at UC San Diego's Department of Pathology, with a salary range of $280,000 to $385,000 and applications reviewed starting November 8. The role includes clinical work across UC San Diego Health facilities, research collaboration, and teaching responsibilities, and requires board eligibility in pathology plus cytopathology fellowship training.
4. How green are California's school campuses? (edsource.org) — Many San Diego Unified campuses are in high or severe heat-risk areas, and 138 of its schools have tree shade over just 5% or less of student play and rest spaces. A new statewide study warns that limited tree cover leaves students exposed during heat waves and urges more shade where kids actually spend their time outdoors.
