Bogus Shark Warning Signs Posted in Santa Cruz County

Submitted by Kiki Jones on Thursday, June 6th, 4:32 pm

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, Calif. -- California State Parks says several shark warning signs posted in the Pleasure Point area are fake.

State parks officials got the call about the fake signs Thursday morning after a visitor called in asking for more information about the posted 'Great White Shark incidences.'

The signs warn people of two shark sightings and one shark attack. Eight signs were reportedly posted in the Pleasure Point area saying people needed to stay out of the water for the next 48 hours.

State parks staff suspect a local surfer may be behind the prank because a large surf is expected in the next two days and the sign suggests beach-goers to go to Cowells Beach instead. The person who put up the fake warning signs may have wanted the whole beach to themselves, said park officials.

These men and women have said they play a vital role in trying to put out warnings before the disaster strikes. Now changes in technology are giving these brave people better tools work with.

There's interactive radar maps online, that storm trackers and even media outlets can use to see where other storm trackers are located (http://www.reporternews.com/weather/). We sat down with one of our local National Weather Service meteorologists to find out how technology like this is changing the way storm chasers do their research.

"Of course it's exciting, but at the same time you know you learn a lot and then you also gain a respect for these storms and you realize these things do change people's lives," said Monterey-based NWS Warning Coordina
