As Montecito slowly comes back to life, we’ll hear from one business owner who made it through the fire and mudslide, and another who was forced to lay off 17 people. Also, pot is now legal in California, but can you actually buy it anywhere? And one columnist says Oprah Winfrey should run for Santa Barbara County Supervisor instead of president.
Mudslide sediment is being dumped onto local beaches and some environmentalists are concerned. Elementary school students in Montecito deal with displacement and losing fellow classmates. And a Chumash family refuses to leave their damaged and destroyed homes.
A tragic mudslide in the coastal Santa Barbara community of Montecito has left over a dozen people dead and missing. The destruction is only beginning to be measured. As search and rescue teams continue to comb through debris looking for survivors and recovering bodies, we speak to those affected and seek answers about evacuation orders and emergency alerts from county officials.
