Rumors that there was an active shooter on campus or in the area are false.
Salinas Police Dept. retweeted
High winds & a break in the rain can still bring hazards! The ground is saturated from all of the recent rain, so strong winds can lead to trees, power poles & other things falling that can be dangerous. If you must be on the road, drive slowly & be on the lookout for hazards.
Salinas Police Dept. retweeted
Rain & high winds are predicted to be heaviest tonight through Thursday, with rain continuing through the weekend. Give yourself extra time in the morning, watch for road hazards like fallen trees or power lines, & watch for children and other pedestrians as you're on the road.
