A strong storm that was poised to descend on portions of the state by midday Tuesday is prompting

concerns about flash flooding and debris flows in recent burn areas.

The cold front, which originated in the Gulf of Alaska, was expected to reach the northern fringes of

the San Francisco Bay Area around noon and push south into San Francisco by late afternoon.

Most areas will see half an inch to 2 inches of rain. The heaviest rainfall will occur between 5 and

10 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

Forecasters issued a flash flood watch from 2 to 10 p.m. for the portion of northern Sonoma County

struck a month ago by the Kincade fire. The blaze charred nearly 78,000 acres and destroyed more

than 370 homes in the region.

Meteorologists are warning of moderate to briefly heavy rainfall rates of a half-inch to three-

quarters of an inch per hour, bringing the potential for flash flooding, rockslides and debris flows

in the burn area. Officials urged residents to monitor weather reports and be prepared to take

action if a flash flood warning is issued.

The rain will likely hit the Central Coast by midnight before moving into Los Angeles County by

sunrise on Wednesday. The storm is expected to dump one to two inches of precipitation in the

coast and valleys, and up to three inches in the foothills and lower elevations of the mountains, said

Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.

“There’s likely going to be heavy rain for the morning commute in Los Angeles tomorrow, so

people should be prepared for that,” she said.

The storm also brings the potential for debris flows in burn-scarred areas in Southern California,

including the San Fernando Valley region affected by the Saddleridge fire and the Easy fire in Simi

Valley.

There’s a slight chance of thunderstorms Thursday with brief pockets of heavy rain. Sustained

precipitation could cause mudslides in burn areas, the weather service warned.

Damage from wildfire prevents soil in recently burned areas from absorbing rainwater. Enough

rain can lead to fast-moving flows that contain mud, debris, trees and boulders that can be several

feet deep and deadly for those in their path. The devastation often comes without warning.

Such a scenario followed the Thomas fire, which charred more than 281,000 acres in Santa

Barbara and Ventura counties in 2017. Heavy rains in January 2018 led to devastating flooding in

Montecito that blanketed the community in mud, destroyed homes and claimed at least 20 lives.

Flash flood watches will also be in effect from late Tuesday through Thursday evening for higher

elevations in Southern California, including in Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties.

“Locally heavy rainfall could produce flash flooding, with the greatest threat to steep terrain,

especially in and below recently burned areas,” the weather service said. “Flooding of poorly

drained and urban areas will also occur, presenting a hazard for motorists.”

Despite the flooding risks, officials are hoping the rain brings an end to the state’s fire season.

Much of California has been unusually dry so far this autumn, keeping fire danger high. Some of

California’s most destructive recent fires have hit during November and December when normal

seasonal rainfall has been absent, such as the Camp fire that ignited on Nov. 8, 2018, and

destroyed much of the town of Paradise, killing more than 80 people.

And on Monday, a fast-moving brush fire erupted and was threatening thousands of homes in

Santa Barbara County. The Cave fire was being pushed down from Los Padres National Forest

toward communities in Santa Barbara and Goleta by powerful winds. The blaze swelled to more

than 4,000 acres overnight, and crews were hoping they could keep flames away from nearby

homes until the rains arrived.

“What’s working in our favor is we’re getting rain tonight,” said Santa Barbara County Fire Capt.

Daniel Bertucelli.

Big Bear Alpine Zoo move set for mid 2020By Kathy Portie [email protected] 8 hrs ago

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved the project in 2014. Construction beganin 2016. According to a story in the Big Bear Grizzly in July 2017, construction was scheduled to becompleted in spring 2018 with a Labor Day opening.

Nearly two years later and the new zoo is still in the construction phase.

The culprit, county officials say, is the weather. The past two winter seasons have seen heavysnowfall, said David Wert, public information officer for the county. “Another factor is when it will besafe to move the animals,” Wert said. “Some are older and have been in the same environment foryears. We just can’t put them in the back of a truck.”

Wert said the county hopes to complete the project inthe spring of 2020, but the exact timing will depend onthe winter.

When completed the new Big Bear Alpine Zoo will belocated on 5.6 acres at what is commonly known as theMoonridge Y — the intersection of Moonridge Roadand Clubview Drive in the Moonridge area of Big BearLake. The property is divided by Rathbun Creek. Thewestern half of the land will house the animals and

buildings.

VICTORVILLE — It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood asvolunteers with the Victor Valley Rescue Mission served nearly 2,000meals and ministered to those in need.

The 13th annual Thanksgiving Banquet on Tuesday at Victor ValleyHigh School in Victorville was an “afternoon of love” that included afree hot meal, live music, arts, crafts, a resource fair, haircuts andprayer, VVRM Director Bill Edwards told the Daily Press.

“The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day to help our neighbors andfriends in the community,” said VVRM Community RelationsCoordinator Dawn Quigg. “It’s such a blessing to see so many churches,civic groups and volunteers come out to help serve.”

Quigg said students from the VVHS Culinary Arts Department took amuch needed year off from cooking, which allowed the VVRM’s RedApron Society to prepare and serve the meals.

She also added that Todd Eves, owner of Out Of This World BBQ,arrived early to warm up the meals with his 40-foot long smoker/grill.

“This is the eighth year that we’ve partnered with Victor Valley HighSchool to host our event,” said Edwards, as volunteers in the school’scafeteria prepared for a flood of guests. “It takes a lot of sacrifice fromstudents and staff to spend their holiday week helping us to providemeals and to demonstrate the gospel to those in need.”

Standing at attention, a line of 16 food servers behind a counter waitedto dish up plates of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beancasserole and rolls as workers in a backroom plated nearly 2,000 slices ofpumpkin pie.

Much of the food for the banquet was donated by local businesses,including ICR Staffing and churches including High Desert Church andOasis Community Church. About 175 local residents volunteered at theevent.

Assigned to mashed potato duty, server Tammy Grebel was one of 20volunteers from Victor Valley Community Church who volunteeredtheir time at the banquet.

“It’s an honor and blessing to serve, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhereelse today,” Grebel said. “Serving others is what we’re called to do.”

Davey and Debbie Lopes, who attend High Desert Church, stood nextto stacks of pies, meticulously slicing each one.

“This is my opportunity to give back to the community,” Davey Lopessaid. “I know what it’s like to be homeless, to live in a car and to bedown and out. I also know what it feels like to have someone help you.”

Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department werealso on hand to chat with guests, wait on tables and to serve pie.

While hundreds of children and adults enjoyed their meals, VVRMvolunteer and VVHS employee Ramon Fraydealfaro worked to keep thearea clean.

“My job here at the school is to clean the kitchen, cafeteria andbathrooms, and that’s what I’m doing here today on my day off,”Fraydealfaro said. “I’m here because the rescue mission is a greatorganization that is doing wonderful things for people who are lessfortunate. Volunteering is the right thing to do.”



The free event also included a health fair provided by the CNSANursing Program from Victor Valley College, with nursing studentsoffering health services including free flu shots.

Some of the other vendors include the City of Victorville, ImpactChristian Church, Victorville Library and the Holiday Inn.

Key market indicators upBy ROBIN RICHARDS News West 16 hrs ago

NEEDLES — Industry advances, retail sales growth and increased demand for housing appear

to be driving something of an economic renaissance in Needles.

The city released �gures last month that indicate retail sales are not only growing but

accelerating. Quoting �gures from the state’s Department of Tax and Fee Administration, a

market brief outlined by City Manger Rick Daniels compared �rst and second quarter tallies for

2019 and 2018. Needles’ retailers sold $10.66 million in taxable product in the �rst quarter of

this year; up 8.2 percent over the �rst quarter of 2018. The gains pushed Needles’ percentage

growth to sixth out of 24 cities in San Bernardino County. The county, overall, experienced

sales growth of 1.8 percent.

Those sales jumped to $12.82 million in the second quarter. The 13.5 percent growth in sales

over the second quarter of 2018 pushed Needles to second place, Daniels reported.

There’s no doubt that growth in the local cannabis industry, especially under new state laws

that allow adult recreational use, are driving the sales increases. Daniels reported 170,000

square feet of new industrial space has been built in the last 24 months for cultivation,

processing and laboratory extraction. “Those businesses now generate over 400 direct jobs in

the community,” he indicated; projecting 200 more jobs and another 80,000 square feet of

space being realized in the next nine months.

According to Daniel’s analysis, all those new jobs are beginning to provide upward pressure on

the local housing market in terms of units developed, number sold and dollars received.

Admitting that new housing has been minimal: six single family residences in 2018, three in

2017; he pointed out:

• A 12-year average of 46 home sales per year increased to 58 in 2018 and is projected to reach

96 this year with 72 sales through Sept 9.

• A 12-year average median home price of $69,900 increasing to $92,000 in 2018 and $96,750

this year.

Daniels reported residential developers are actively evaluating the market and that a developer

that purchased 2.3 acres of city property downtown is planning a mixed-use building that will

include approximately 92 apartments.

Daniels also pointed out that Arrowhead Credit Union’s takeover of Desert Communities

Federal Credit Union, “… brings additional �nancial opportunity to residents and businesses for

lending and deposit services.” He described Arrowhead as a “$1.4 billion asset size institution

with over 163,000 members and about 20 branch operations.”
