Hot Licks of Wind Teasing Malibu – 103º Inland

The first hot licks of Santa Ana winds began to toast the hills and canyons of Southern California overnight … in advance of a large Santa Ana windstorm that’s supposed to develop today through Wednesday.

It was 89 degrees overnight on the beach at Trancas … but at Santa Monica … 69 … showing the difference between offshore and onshore winds..

The National Weather Service says a “monster” high pressure ridge will squeeze air down

into deserts and through mountains toward the Pacific coast.

Santa Anas may engulf Game One of the World Series, possibly blowing over of the outfield pavilion and directly towards home plate.

Red Flag Warnings are up today … for gusts up to 25 miles per hour today … stronger winds tomorrow … gusts up to 50.

Highs today … on the beach … from 95 to 105.

2 Motorcyclists Down At Neptunes Net

Two people were taken to a Oxnard hospital after a major-injury crash on Pacific Coast Highway on Sunday afternoon.

FioS Suffers Systemwide Fail Under Frontier

It was a frustrating weekend for internet and telephone customers of Frontier Communications … which operates the FioS service in Malibu.

Lines went dead at 6:15 Friday evening.

No internet service … some landlines were reported dead … and even cellphones on other systems went dead.

Many cellphone users discovered that their phones switch over to Wi Fi inside hotspots … like their homes.

And where the hotspots were connected to Frontier FioS … they were dead . taking the cellphones with them.

Frontier spokesman Javier Mendoza tells K B U U that the service outage affected coastal cities and some inland areas.

But an independent Internet monitoring service showed that it affected nearly all of Frontier’s California service area … including in the Bay Area and as far east as the Inland Empire.

Frontier has been struggling with the FioS system that it bought from Verizon a year and a  half ago.

And nationwide … the firm is struggling to keep customers after the disastrous service problems of late.

The Frontier spokesman either doesn’t know … or won’t say … what the nature of the failure was.

As near as we can tell … it was a failure somewhere within Frontier of its system that routes internet traffic to the right address.

This could have been one computer failing somewhere.

Or a hacker.

Bottom line … phones went dead.

No way to call 9 1 1 for thousands of people.

Frontier FioS is one of the three Internet service providers in Malibu.

Traffic Impact Fees May Get Charged to Construction

Should people building new buildings in Malibu pay a fee for traffic projects???

Malibu’s city council will examine whether to charge impact fees for new development …. including houses.

Mayor Skylar Peak is asking the city council to study the matter.

The traffic mitigation fee would be charged to new development …. to help fund transportation improvements to roads and sidewalks that may be impacted by additional traffic from new development projects.

The proposal comes as Malibu is looking at several new commercial projects … in the pipeline for the Civic Center area.

It’s also lining up funding to rebuild Civic Center Way.

The city points out that Santa Monica charges 78 hundred dollars per residential unit for new construction.

Santa Monica also charges 30 dollars per square foot for offices and retail.

Impact fees in Malibu … the idea goes before the city council Monday.

The fire burned 38 hundred acres.

It started when saggy power lines began arcing between two overloaded power poles in Malibu Canyon … as winds shrieked towards the sea.

A county fire truck was up in the canyon … putting out the fire under the poles … when they saw a pole snap in the wind ….

As it went down … it yanked on a guy wire and pulled out a 26-hundred pound chunk of concrete that had been a counterweight.

This was deep in Malibu Canyon … at the top of the hill … south of the tunnel.

Within two hours it had burned down to Serra Estates … prompting a frantic evacuation of people and horses.
