Can anyone make out what the Sherriff's patrol car is announcing? It's gone by twice but I can't make out what they are saying.

We are NOT planning to go anywhere anytime soon...but does anybody know the status of Lone Pine Canyon Road for leaving town?

The DOT's road condition's page doesn't seem to monitor it...and I'm just not sure what a good source for status info is.

Thank you for that link!

Unless I am misreading, it looks like Lone Pine Canyon Rd. is open...but the dirt road at the lower bend (Swarthout Canyon) is closed.  Is that accurate?

...just trying to figure out a good source to know what roads (if any) are clear tomorrow...

Lone Pine Canyon heading to/from 138 is marked as closed again, as-of now.

Following natural disaster events, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) may activate the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program, which provides technical and financial assistance to help communities address imminent threats to life and property caused by floods, fires, storms, and other watershed-impairing disasters. San Bernardino County has asked NRCS to begin the EWP application process in an effort to secure emergency federal funding to help mitigate recent storm impacts.

EWP funding can also be used to address impacts on private property. However, for private properties to be included, landowners must first contact the EWP sponsor, in this case San Bernardino County, to request an initial site visit. During these visits, county staff collect data and assess needs for inclusion in the EWP application.

Given how well connected you all are within the community, and that you may already be in contact with affected landowners, you are welcome to share the following contact information:

Michael Fam
San Bernardino County Department of Public Works
Email: mfam@dpw.sbcounty.gov
Phone: 909-387-8121

Michael, along with other county representatives and NRCS staff, are planning to conduct site visits in the coming weeks. The more interested private property owners who request assessments, the stronger the overall application will be when seeking emergency funding.
