Breaking News - 2 p.m. Thurs., Nov. 29
The National Weather Service indicates a potential for rapidly developing heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms over Santa Barbara County through 5 p.m. Residents near creeks and streams below burn areas should maintain awareness of their surroundings and take action to stay safe if necessary. Rapidly developing storms are tough to predict and may have no to little warning. If there is no time to evacuate, move to safety or shelter in place, which may mean going to a neighbor's home on higher ground or go to the middle of your home.

The area they are most concerned with (though there are others) is Montecito where new flood plains
began last January caused by fire and rain coming in too close to one another. Now there is a flood
plain with 75% of the rocks and mud exposed which can come down through the hills to the sea
during the next 5 to 10 years during
rains beyond a certain intensity.
