When you walk through our front doors, the time you spend in our office is all about you.

While not expected to be as severe as other SoCal regions, excessive rainfall in San Diego County could cause flash flooding.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — Another powerful atmospheric-river-fueled storm is expected to slam Southern California Tuesday bringing torrential downpours, flooding and snow at higher elevations — but San Diego County may escape the brunt it.

The storm is expected to be far more powerful in Southern California than last week’s, and is expected to hit Ventura and Los Angeles counties hardest on Tuesday.

While the local mountains could receive several inches of rain, coastal and valleys could get nearly 2 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service. The mountains and foothills will receive the highest rates of rain, possibly between a half-inch and 1 inch per hour.

Forecasters said there is a 5 percent chance that San Diego County will see rainfall exceeding levels that can cause flash flooding.

“Flood watch in effect for most of southwest California tonight thru early Wed. This is a very wet storm, with a lot of water over already saturated grounds,” the weather service warned. “Expect significant road and creek flooding. Moderate threat of river flooding and burn scar debris flows.

"Confidence is fairly high that this storm will bring significant widespread heavy rainfall to the region. In fact, it will be a big surprise if it does not do so."

While rain is likely to start falling in the pre-dawn hours in San Diego County, the brunt of the storm is expected to hit the area late Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night, according to AccuWeather.

"There will likely be widespread and significant roadway flooding across the region from this storm, but there may also be more significant flooding, with mud and debris flows, rock slides, and some flooding of creeks and rivers," according to the NWS.

Although the storm will be particularly wet, forecasters said the snow level will remain above 8,000 feet, with little to no accumulations anticipated, according to AccuWeather.

Dry weather is expected to return Wednesday night through Thursday night, with another smaller system sliding into the area by Friday and lasting into the weekend although the bulk of that storm will likely remain to the north, resulting in a mostly dry but cool weekend.

About two dozen people forced to flee Southern California apartment buildings endangered by a tumbling oceanside hill were warned Thursday that they may be evacuated indefinitely.

Three clifftop apartment buildings and one nearby building in coastal Orange County's San Clemente were red-tagged and evacuated Wednesday when the land began to shift and slide away from their backyards down a hillside following torrential rains.

Authorities said there was no timetable for declaring the slope stable enough for residents to return.

TORNADOES, VIOLENT STORMS RAVAGE TEXAS AS STORM SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH DEEP SOUTH

"I think everyone should understand we have a dynamic situation here," Mayor Chris Duncan said during a news conference. "We have another rainstorm coming, the ground is continuing to move, so these structures are still in peril."

The National Weather Service said heavy rain could hit Southern California again early next week.

Twenty to 30 residents were evacuated. Some were briefly allowed back home on Thursday to move out their belongings.

Orange County was added to a presidential emergency declaration for areas hard-hit by natural disasters.

About 35 out of 58 California counties are now covered by the declaration, which authorizes federal assistance to help state and local governments deal with a series of fierce winter storms.

California has been hit with 11 atmospheric rivers in a virtually nonstop series that has sparked floods and landslides, toppled trees, stranded mountain dwellers in historically deep snow and downed power lines, leaving thousands without electricity.

Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley said the county had seen more than $4 million in storm damage, and the figure will escalate.

In the city of La Habra, news reports said a sinkhole about 30 feet deep opened up Wednesday night next to another sinkhole that opened up in 2019 after heavy rain. Repairs to the earlier hole have yet to be completed.

Some Southern California beaches were closed as heavy rain overwhelmed sewage systems and sent thousands of gallons of raw sewage to the sea. Ventura County closed beaches near the Santa Clara River after a collapsed sewer line spewed about 148,000 gallons of sewage into the waterway, which flows into the Pacific Ocean. The closures were expected to remain in place through the weekend or until testing shows bacteria levels are safe.

US-based biotechnology company Genentech, a member of Roche Group, will build a next-generation biologics manufacturing facility at its existing campus in Oceanside, California, for sustainable production of small-batch commercial biologics.

A ground-breaking ceremony for the new manufacturing facility took place in February 2023. The facility will be one of the most advanced commercial-scale biotech production facilities in the world, as well as Roche’s first facility for dedicated full-scale commercial production.

The facility is being developed as part of an approximately $450m investment that Genentech is making to advance the manufacturing capabilities at its Oceanside campus. It forms part of a larger $700m investment by the company for setting up advanced manufacturing capabilities in California.

The Oceanside facility is expected to be operational in early 2025 and create around 150 jobs in operations.

Location of Genentec’s biologics manufacturing facility

The new manufacturing facility will be located 35 miles north of San Diego, California. Genentech’s Oceanside campus was selected for the new facility due to its proximity to a talented workforce and the company’s Clinical Supply Center in South San Francisco, California.

Oceanside is a seaside community with around 200,000 inhabitants on the Southern California coast, midway between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Details of Genentech’s new biologics manufacturing facility

The new facility will be equipped with modern equipment and use current manufacturing technologies, including single-use technology, automation, and digital manufacturing, to develop biologics in small batches while expediting the manufacturing of commercial medicines for patients.

The in-house process improvements are intended to increase flexibility, speed and output under the same roof.

The facility aims to act as a new model for the rapid and efficient manufacturing of treatments, such as personalised and rare disease medications, for smaller patient groups. It will be equipped with modular equipment to enable the simultaneous production of multiple medicines and substantially decrease the time required to transition from the manufacturing of one drug to another.

The facility will be equivalent to the Clinical Supply Center, allowing devices to be transferred quickly between the two locations.

Sustainable features of Genentech’s biologics manufacturing facility

The Oceanside facility is designed to be efficient and use fewer resources, making it more environmentally friendly than conventional manufacturing facilities.

To improve its sustainability, the plant will use 25% less energy, 28% less water, and 14% less carbon than conventional plants. In addition, it will not return any plastic waste to landfill.

Details of Genentech’s existing Oceanside campus

The Oceanside campus comprises seven buildings built on approximately 575,000ft2, covering 60 acres. The campus is used for multi-product manufacturing, with its capacities ranging from commercial scale to launch.

The facility has a production capacity of 90,000l and is licensed for the manufacturing of Actemra, Rituxan, and Avastin bulk drug substances.

Marketing commentary on Genentech

Genentech is a biotechnology company based in South San Francisco, California. It is a pioneer of the procedures and technologies used for the commercial production of complex biologic medications.

Genentech became a member of the Roche Group in March 2009; the two companies’ pharmaceutical operations in the US were subsequently combined. Genentech’s South San Francisco campus serves as the headquarters for Roche’s pharmaceutical operations in the US, while Genentech Research and Early Development continues to operate as a separate business unit within Roche.

Roche and Genentech currently have manufacturing facilities in 11 locations worldwide. The Clinical Supply Centre, along with the new facility in Oceanside, will serve as a model for the company for future small-batch, flexible manufacturing facilities.

Genentech invested $15bn in research and development worldwide in 2021, in addition to its ongoing investments in manufacturing innovation.
