A big cypress tree went down this morning across Rt. 1 at 10:30am near Marshall north of Hog Island. I think both lanes have been closed since then. Tree crews apparently on the scene now. If anyone can report back when road is open, that would be helpful, thank you. (Thx JJ)

Crazy high tide on Tomales Bay this morning. Chicken Ranch Beach in Inverness was just gone. The actual king tides are Jan 21-22, so more high water to come.

UPDATE: It looks like they have one-way traffic control in place -- BREAKING: According to CalTrans, RT1 by Ellis Creek near Marshall, north of Point Reyes Station is CLOSED due to the road slipping out. This closure may last a month? Can anyone else confirm?

“As pupping season, which falls between the months of December and March, gets underway, the inclement weather has encouraged the animals to seek dry shelter beyond the exposed sites along the Point Reyes Headlands to keep their babies safe. Prior to the recent bomb cyclone event, there were about 50 pups in the colony, most of which were less than two weeks old and unable to swim, Sarah Codde, a marine ecologist for Point Reyes National Seashore, told SFGATE earlier this month.”

When you think you hear a noise at 4am in the living room that sounds like the front door blew open from a big wind gust and a raccoon snuck in and is eating all the cat food. And that’s exactly what it is.

The source of the power outage seems to be a huge tree down on Rt 1 just north of Point Reyes station on a feeder line. PG&E crews coming to try and reroute power. Rt 1 traffic is a detour around it,

This picture was taken at a beach in Point Reyes this afternoon by a local. The wave after this washed over the whole beach. The waves are massive today. WMF has had to report on many drownings at the beaches over the years. Please don’t do this. Make good choices. Stay far away from the water. (Thx SC)

Stunning light on Tomales Bay. Went to grab some firewood in case the power goes out tonight and was transfixed by the stillness. Calm before the storm.

Power on in the town of Inverness, (hasn’t quite reached WMF yet though). Lots of excited locals. Friday night is back! Point Reyes Station, Olema, Inverness Park, Marshall and Olema all reporting power back on.
Lot of people working hard to make it happen out there.

Still no power in Point Reyes Station, Inverness or Inverness Park. I heard that some residents in Inverness got a notice about estimated restoration at 12pm today. Hope that’s accurate,
West Marin School Update: “As the roads are open, the power has returned, and the weather forecast for today is stable, Tomales High School, Tomales Elementary School, and Bodega Bay School will reopen today Friday 1/6/23. With the power is still out in Point Reyes Station, Inverness Park, and Inverness, West Marin School and Inverness School will remain closed.
NOTE: The THS transfer stop in Inverness has been moved from Vision Rd to the Inverness Post Office today for safety reasons.“

Heard through the grapevine that the reason that Point Reyes Station lost power last night (and still doesn't have power) is because five utility poles went down in Nicasio Valley. PG&E working on the now. Can anyone confirm those poles going down?

Important Update: The gas station in Point Reyes Station is closed due to the power being out. No time has been given for power restoration and station re-opening. So if you’re low on gas, be careful, if you’re over the hill, fill up.
