Here's what I saw when I landed:

The launch is taking a heavy hit. I paddled out this morning and this is what I found when I
landed...

The Launch around 10am Nov. 30, 2007

A Closer look at the launch

The Street by the Launch -
the Storm drain lid had been pushed off by the pressure

I watched you haul your kayak out wavster. I can't go out in the rain because I'll melt so I set here and hit the refresh button and watch the launch area wash away. Thanks for the pictures. The news is getting all scary about the hills of La Jolla washing away. Hope that doesn't happen.

I'm more worried about the hills along the Del Dios. All the vegetation is gone,
now the land is exposed. At least in LJ, there's vegetation on the hillside.

Wow- big brother only shows the mild part of the scene!

What neither pictures or video can portray, is the smell of that water. I'm
thinking a sewage line ruptured or just backed up. It really smelled awful.

Anyone going in the water in the next couple of days out to be very careful
about water contact.

There is an incredible amount of sewage and pollution spilling into our ocean right now. Could that make fish caught right now unsafe to eat? Or in the cases like a bay, does a fish have to live in polluted water for an extended period of time before it becomes toxic?

Also, will the pollution and sewage runoff from a storm cause the fish to leave an area?

Thanks for your thoughts!
