"Urgent Evacuation Warnings in Big Sur Following Landslides"

A slip-out underneath Highway 1 in Big Sur has led to an evacuation warning for areas south of the Rocky Creek slip-out, with convoys allowing residents to escape. The closure, caused by saturated ground from recent rain, has prompted efforts to secure funding for repairs. The slip-out has also led to the closure of state parks and school closures in the area. Political figures, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Congressman Jimmy Panetta, have expressed support for repair efforts, while Assemblymember Dawn Addis highlighted the vulnerability of coastal communities and advocated for funding for coastal resiliency.
