Hurricane Hilary, a powerful Category 4 storm, is set to make historic landfall this weekend. While you're busy getting sandbags ready, keeping your pets safe indoors, and securing loose items, you might be wondering, when was the last time a storm of this magnitude hit Southern California? According to the National Weather Service, the last time a hurricane came through Southern California was 165 years ago - the San Diego Hurricane of October 2nd, 1858. That historic storm grounded ships and battered San Diego County with 75 mph winds for several hours.

It was Feb. 25, 2022, when Russians invaded the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Thousands fled from the city as the fighting began, including those from adjacent areas. Three days later, Hanna and Igor Rohozhynska were forced to flee their home in the adjacent city of Irpin with their 5 and 4 year old boys and their brand new baby girl.

This Monday, July 17, members of the Fallbrook Community Planning Group (FCPG) met with the public at the Fallbrook Public Utility District building to discuss updates on the new park being developed on East Fallbrook Street between Golden and Morro.

San Diego County Park Project Manager Riley DeWitt-Rickards unveiled a final rendering of the park layout. Amenities citizens can expect include a native plant garden, multipurpose sports field, play area, small and large dog off leash area, and a brand new skate park – a feature that attendees at the FCPG meeting hope will reduce instances of teens and children skating down the steep hill on Morro.

Residents with an I-15 commute will be all too familiar with the long-standing road closures along Live Oak Park Road.

Dominick's Delicatessen celebrated their 40th anniversary Thursday with retro prices, community and two generations behind the counter. The beloved deli came into Fallbrook in 1883 after historic El Niño winds blew them out of Santa Cruz and into Pepper Tree Village on South Mission.

In a Post Roe reality with frequent power outages and a commitment to the 2nd Amendment that enables school shootings, Texans have begun to seem more like potential refugees than people happily roping calves with their own ideas on independence.
