Lookout PM: A note from Ken Doctor, more storm coverage as ocean hits the coastline hard

Dear Readers,

It’s been a harrowing week in the county, as flooding in Capitola and Pajaro Valley has joined with wind damage in the mountains and wharf evacuations. And more rain is on the way in this most unusual of Januaries. Our whole Lookout team of 15 has been working around the clock to keep you informed, with our Santa Cruz County Storm Central the literal center of our reporting.

While this week has been full-on, into each night, every night, this team, pictured below, creates Lookout. We cover the county from end to end, the politics, the fun, the food and the problems, what dozens of stories every week. Get full access to all of our work – Mark Conley’s, Hillary Ojeda’s, Chris Neely’s, Max Chun’s, Wallace Baine’s and Lily Belli’s - every day by becoming a Lookout member. We’ve made that easy, and with this special offer of just $99 for the first
year.

We’re here for you through thick and thin. Sign up now, knowing you’ll get the best daily news report in Santa Cruz County. Thanks for your support.

– Ken Doctor
