First, the @MayorToddGloria administration neglected flood-control channels ahead of heavy rain; now the city is towing cars swept away by stormwater without fully alerting flood victims https://t.co/yDEDSsY208 latest from @Maura__Fox
This was definitely one of my favorite stories to write: I interviewed (and climbed with!) local rock climbing legends Chris Hubbard and Randy Leavitt, who helped develop San Diego's rock climbing in the 80s - 2000s... and are still crushing it today.

They've stepped in to provide migrants with services such as meals, hygiene kits and general support in navigating the airport. “Our biggest goal is to make sure people are safe and have food and basic needs," says an attorney from Immigrant Defenders Law Center.
Last Friday, I went to the San Diego airport, where at least 100 migrants have been sleeping each night before flights. They are among the thousands of migrants who have been processed by CBP and released in San Diego County since mid-Sept.

Overnight stays by migrants at the airport aren't new, but local aid groups say the number of people has increased significantly over recent weeks, and they're not sure why.
Local nonprofits helping out the thousands of migrants arriving in San Diego received support from the county yesterday, with $3 million allocated to migrant services. It's the first major step the county has taken to address the issue. https://t.co/IqhR7PmK11
Migrants are now waiting to be processed by CBP in Jacumba, in East County, before being dropped off at San Diego transit stations. At the stations, local groups are hoping for more gov't support as they provide migrants with transportation + basic needs. https://t.co/jFxqzguKVP
For context: Earlier this year, migrants reported being required to wait at an enforcement-zone between the border walls with minimal food, shelter and water. CBP has processed the majority of those migrants, who are now figuring out their next steps. https://t.co/Ha7k2rFYou
Migrants waiting in between layers of border fencing after entering the US from Tijuana were processed and dropped off at transit centers around San Diego County this week. Our latest on the situation and how local groups are providing migrants w/ support: https://t.co/orRcRXz2C5

Been waiting for nine hours in Tijuana to cross back into San Diego, not even at the San Ysidro crossing yet… is this all bc of the holiday weekend or is something else happening?
It’s easy to not think much about where our food comes from, but I’m hoping this story can shed light on one aspect of the supply chain and why it matters to us. Think of it as “food for thought”! https://t.co/EUImoihp4H
