"Big Sur Residents Urged to Evacuate Ahead of Approaching Storm and Landslides"

Officials in California have urged residents to evacuate the Big Sur area as another storm approaches, threatening to worsen a recent road collapse near the scenic coastal stretch. Part of Highway 1 was shut down after heavy rainfall caused a portion of the road to crumble into the Pacific Ocean, prompting emergency orders for evacuation. With more rain expected, authorities are concerned about the potential for additional landslide or mudslide activity, leading to the cancellation of convoys through Friday.
