Beach cam catches meteor entering atmosphere (an inch below the timestamp :27) and streaking across the sky (:37)! Sharp Park Beach, Pacifica

Timestamp 6:00:26 enters atmosphere (upper left about an inch below the 27) and streaks low across the sky at timestamp :37

Amazing shot! I've added a clip now, watch in 4k to see the originating flash

Poor phone cam video here, the 4K clip expired

Live cam

edit: The YT clip to the livestream cycled. Perhaps David will go back to a rewind and post it from the Sharp Park Beach cam. It's out of my hands now

Do you need Air Conditioning in Half Moon Bay?

Just recently moved to Half Moon Bay and wondered if we need to install air conditioning. I know this is a Pacifica subreddit but the climates are similar and there isn’t a HMB subreddit.

King Tides

We want to come visit Pacifica during King Tides in December. Where is the best place to stay to see the crashing waves? Or are there better places north or south? TIA for any helpful information.

moving boxes —who needs’ em, where can i take them?

i’ve got dozens of moving boxes after our move to pacifica, and apparently nobody ever moves around here because i can’t for the life of me give them away on the buy-nothing group. anybody need them or know a place i can take them where someone will use them? seriously, it’s like a couple hundred dollars worth of boxes and it seems a shame just to recycle them with recology.

Warning/Vent: Offleash Dog Pack at Milagra Ridge

Warning for hikers who go to Milagra Ridge, especially those with dogs: this woman is a MENACE!! She let her group of big out-of-control offleash dogs rush my dogs TWICE today and did nothing about it. I have seen her here a few times before. Not sure if she's a dog walker or if these are her own dogs, but she walks a pack of 4 or 5 big dogs by herself, with some or all of the dogs offleash. The dogs don't seem to be aggressive, but appear extremely overstimulated and untrained/undersocialized - and this woman has zero control over them.

Both times we encountered them today, she was yelling at her offleash dogs repeatedly while they completely ignored her, and then she pretended not to see them swarm me and my 2 dogs. Her dogs look like they are between 60-80lbs each. For context, one of my dogs is only 8lbs, and the other is 40lbs but already fearful of strange dogs invading her personal space.

During the first incident, we turned a corner on the trail and within a few moments of noticing us, her pack of dogs locked in on us and started charging directly at us. Her dogs surrounded us and prevented us from leaving, and kept getting in my dogs' faces. This woman was literally 5 feet away from me at one point as I was struggling to calm my clearly terrified dogs down, and she still pretended not to see what was going on. Her dogs weren't trying to attack us, but were being very pushy and were definitely fixated on my dogs. Aside from uselessly shouting at her dogs as she walked away, she did absolutely nothing to restrain or remove them. Thankfully her dogs eventually lost interest in us and left.

I then went out of my way to avoid their group the second time I saw them coming by moving as far away from the trail as I could with my dogs. As soon as her dogs noticed us though, they SPRINTED up the hillside through the bushes to swarm us again within seconds. I tried to block my dogs with my legs, and I firmly told her dogs "NO" a few times, but obviously they did not listen. Once again, she made no effort to come get her dogs (she had already walked away by then) and we were trapped there until the dogs got bored with us.

I am just venting now, but this is totally unacceptable behavior by this owner/walker. Offleash is a privilege, and it is wildly irresponsible to let a group of overstimulated dogs with no recall run amok on a hiking trail. Most dogs would not appreciate being rushed by a pack of big strange dogs. It doesn't matter how "friendly" the dogs are, and this is actually considered offensive behavior that could lead to a dog fight even if the intentions were good. Not to mention, my 8lb dog could have been trampled by this out-of-control horde due to this woman's recklessness. She is very lucky nobody was hurt. She is needlessly endangering dogs, including her own. Of course I don't blame the dogs themselves, as it's not their fault that they haven't been properly trained.

Anyway, here's a photo of this woman from today, speedily walking away without acknowledging us at all after the second incident. You can see how much distance I tried putting between us and their group, which made no difference in the end. I wish I was able to confront her, but she made a quick getaway while I was preoccupied with making sure my dogs were ok.

What is up with Colombos?

Hey Pacifica Reddit,

Is Colombos sandwiches in the Manor Safeway plaza still open? Is it still good? Last time I went in there all the shelves were empty and the sign was gone and it was kinda depressing. I asked the employees if it was going out of business and they said no. But then why were all the shelves empty?

Anyone know what's up? I miss old Colombos it used to be so awesome.

Thanks for any details.

Edit: Update: we went today and the sandwiches were as good as ever. Turns out they just got rid of the shelving that had the dry goods and replaced them with seating and tables. Sandwiches are bombs, Tomassos is my fav! Glad they aren't closing, also it's nice they have more seating now to eat.

Higgins Construction

Well, that's why we can't access the trailhead. Feels like a bit much for the neighborhood. Hope they like mountain bikers.

Awesome home for sale.. I'm gonna miss it

It is really weird posting this, but I feel at least a little bit of duty in letting the locals know about the sale.

I've had the privilege of living in one of the houses in Linda mar across the highway from the beach, and I've been put in a position where I need to end that occupation.

I love the place, I love the town, I love a lot about it... But we must move on. I feel a duty to let the local know, especially the locals on Reddit somehow.

You can check Zillow, redfin or whatever you like, it was listed today. Look on Anza drive.

Thanks for being cool Pacifica.

Looking for 2 bedroom apartment in Pacifica

Hi Everyone! My husband and I are longtime Pacifica residents. We love it here and don’t want to leave! Unfortunately our landlord is moving in and we need to move.

Hoping the Reddit community has some apartment-hunting advice. Thanks in advance for any information or advice you can offer!

At this point we are considering the Bluffs and Cypress Pointe plus places we have found on Zillow or Craigslist.

Does anyone have any experience living at either of these or know something good or bad about them?

Also, does anyone have suggestions of where to look other than Trulia, Zillow, Apartment Guide, Apartments.com or Craigslist?

We are a quiet middle-aged couple with one adorable cat, respectable jobs and just want a nice, peaceful place to live in Pacifica. Our budget is $3500 for a 2 bedroom.

Does anyone know what they are doing digging up the roads on Alta Vista, Serena, Ladera, Escalero, and other streets in the area? I see pipes laying around, is it sewer or water?

Just curious.

Best places to buy/live in Pacifica? Pros/cons vs living in Half Moon Bay? Work 2-3 days/wk in San Mateo.

I’ve heard Linda Mar and Vallemar are nice. Is the weather worse/same north of Linda Mar?

Why would someone choose to live in Pacifica over Half Moon Bay area?

Hey everyone, I was hoping to set up a prefab tiny home on a vacant piece of land that I saw for sale on Zillow. I am honestly not sure where to begin. I would be extremely grateful if anyone with experience in this area could point me in the right direction. Thanks a ton!

Car crash near Sanchez art center

I was downstairs in my house when I heard a thud, and then a tires screech befor another thud at the bottom of my hill. After checking it out, it seemed to be a person who lost control of their vehicle and accepts full responsibility, however I heard someone talking about how she was drunk. If anyone finds any info on the news or something, let me know cause I’m kinda curious. Btw, she hit two cars, one I can see from my house is now up against a side walk, must suck to be the owner. Silver Prius parts all over my road.

Community events/get togethers

Hello, I’m a male 41, and I moved to Pacifica recently to the manor drive hickey Blvd area about 5 months ago. I have been meeting a few people here and there but I wanted to see if anyone is in the neighborhood that likes to hike, play golf, go to the beach, surf, etc. I also like to paint acrylics. I like to connect with some adventure minded people!
