Newport Floods, and the High Tide Isn’t Here Yet
40 minutes Posted Oct 10, 2026 at 5:09 am.
— Southern California’s rough week: flooding on the Balboa Peninsula, a 3.2 earthquake near Long Beach, a Porter Ranch water main break and several fires. Layoffs may be coming at Paramount Skydance, and Netflix is reportedly about to cut 5% of its staff. On the bright side, the Dodgers are headed to the NLCS. Also: a cubic yard of water weighs about 1,700 pounds.  6:20 — Coastal flood warnings and high tides around 9 p.m. from Oceanside to Oxnard, with Dana Point near 6.5 feet. Swells from Tropical Storm Rachel combine with an El Niño Kelvin wave, a slow bulge of ocean water that can raise sea level by up to about a foot. Also, Chicago Bears legend Mike Ditka has died at 86.  6:35 — Longtime listener Steve Early, a former Northridge resident, calls in from Perdido Key near Pensacola as Hurricane Isaias makes landfall near Destin as a Category 2. Tornadoes and widespread power outages are possible as the storm moves inland.  6:50 — A 7.7 earthquake hits Panama, then a 6.6 about two and a half hours later. 7.7 releases roughly 32 times the energy of the 1994 Northridge quake, which was a 6.7. What it means for California, and why Southern California could be in for a long night.  Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI! 🎙️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
