Fortunately, Tuesday morning’s earthquake provided little more than a thrill ride for Santa Barbara and Goleta residents. In the quake’s wake, however, a deluge of traffic overwhelmed Noozhawk‘s third-party Web host, and some of you may have experienced intermittent access problems. Our server service has since been upgraded but please do continue to challenge us. Set Noozhawk as your home page, visit as often as you like. We’re open 24 hours.

On behalf of our staff and our advertisers, Noozhawk would like to thank you for your support. We’re proud that South Coast residents are increasingly turning to us first for local news, information, and knowledge.
