Monday October 19, 2026
In this episode, we dive into the potential impacts of a historic El Nino event threatening the West Coast, particularly California. Forecasters warn of increased atmospheric rivers, which could bring heavy rain and snow, potentially causing significant disruptions. Meanwhile, in Encinitas, local surfers can expect clean waves of three to five feet, with conditions remaining favorable throughout the week despite some choppy patches.
We also cover the Encinitas Chargers' recent struggles, as they suffered a loss to the Chiefs with a score of 22-6. Key injuries are impacting the team's performance, and they prepare to face the Rams next. On a brighter note, the new Santee Animal Shelter has opened, offering improved facilities for animals and a low-stress environment.
Nationally, we touch on the rising healthcare costs in China, which are becoming comparable to those in the United States, and the latest in cryptocurrency markets, with Bitcoin holding steady. In tech news, Anthropic announces a public benefit fund to support societal projects, and Netflix's The Diplomat continues to impress with its latest season.
