We start today’s newscast with an editorial note.
The news is scary.
There are rumors.
Here at KBUU … it is our job to separate rumor from news.
You may have heard the rumors about a COVID-19 medical case in Malibu.
We have heard them.
We have reported them.
Three nongovernment sources have told us the same information.
The government will not confirm or deny.
Federal privacy laws are getting in the way of verifying what appears to be reliable fact … with government officials.
This newscast must balance the need to avoid inciting panic … with the very real facts that are developing in our neighborhood … our city … our world.
With that in mind … here is today’s news.
- A staggering projected death toll in Malibu – if the Chinese death rate is applicable here.
- A Malibu resident is self-isolating in her Malibu home.
- Malibu schools are not cancelling events yet.

This storm will bring a threat of thunderstorms, including the possibility of strong storms to Southwest California today into tonight.
The greatest threat will be during the afternoon and evening hours when the atmosphere destabilizes.
Any thunderstorms that develop will have the potential to produce brief heavy

Conditions will also be favorable for isolated waterspouts over the coastal waters today, which can always come ashore as a small tornado.
