I asked CalTrans- the current closure is basically East Jenks all the way to Lake Williams.

Another earthquake in Kamchatka 7.8 yesterday.

I’m as confused about it as everyone! Didn’t make sense ..,

SCM ... I was about to say, the closure area in Google Maps has shifted

FROM CALTRANS:
SBDCO: The closure on SR-38 between Forest Falls and Angelus Oaks has been lifted. Traffic can now pass through this section. A new hard closure is in place from Post Mile 20.50 at Middle Control to Lakewood Road near Big Bear. The closure is due to a slip-out and mudslides impacting the roadway. Crews are actively working in the area.

I thought the same KN6, the threat is much lower today than yesterday. So I thought maybe it was a delayed reaction.

Maybe BBNona can provide some additional clarity...

Thanks WX! I am also confused about that evac warning. Came thru the automated system and it was followed up by a tweet from SBSO.

Thanks for the weather update. I was a bit confused and almost wondered if the warning was delayed from yesterday because I currently don't even see anything on radar. Good to know that it is a potential development.

I'm not sure if they were in the middle of moving it or opening it up, but there was no road block coming up to AO just now. It looked like it was only into Forest Falls. CalTrans told me just an hour ago it'd likely be tonight or tomorrow that this side will open, but my girlfriend made it home to AO just fine. The mess is cleaned up, but they are worried about stability, I believe. I'm referring to the slide closer to Redlands. In the meantime, I just got an evacuation warning notice.
