Heavy rain and winds crisscrossed San Luis Obispo County Monday morning, disrupting power lines and creating power outages. Winds as strong as 80 m.p.h. were recorded.

Highway 41 between Morro Bay and Atascadero closed for part of the afternoon due to a downed line. Highway 166 will be closed overnight because of a second downed power line. Highway 1 in Oceano has been reopened after slight flooding.
