You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
Big Waves Delight Surfers and Tourists in San Diego!
For several days last week we experienced big (huge in some places) waves. These waves were caused by storms in Japan, 8,000 miles away. It was unusual because our weather was picture perfect, 70s and sunny at the beach. Typically, when waves are this big in San Diego it is because of local winter storms. San Diego has seventy miles of coastline and there are many famous, iconic surf beaches here. Also, a lot of surf legends live in San Diego or have lived here. Local surfers were ecstatic about last week's waves! Not sure if local surf god, Ralph Machado, was out there but, if he was, the conditions were perfect.
Beside thrilling the surfers, the waves also entertained the tourists, locals and media. When I shot this video (scroll down) we were at the pier in Ocean Beach and the parking lot next to the pier was full of media trucks. The pier (longest on the West Coast) was closed because the water actually was over the pier several times. If you get a chance walk out on the pier and have clam chowder or fish and chips at the small restaurant right on the pier. My video was just shot on my phone cam so it didn't do justice to how big the waves actually were. In Ocean Beach waves topped 15 feet! At Boomer Beach in La Jolla they were even bigger, 17 feet. And surf favorite, Swami's in Encinitas, thrilled surfers with 12 feet waves.
Pounding waves could be heard a half mile inland. Waves this big can be dangerous so only the most experienced were out surfing. I heard one guy had his surfboard cut in half by the waves. It has been over a year since waves this big have hit San Diego. Luckily there was no subsequent flooding. Lifeguards were definitely earning their money and had to make a few rescues. At least two or three people received mild to moderate injuries. For the most part, everyone up and down the San Diego coast, were just excited to witness the natural spectacle. I love the fact that the sea is always changing and never get bored walking the beach, San Diego Bay or getting out on the water in a boat. No, I haven't been on a surfboard yet. Maybe some day, in the 1 to 2 foot wave range :)
Enjoy some of the photos we snapped the other day and remember to scroll and check out my quick video.
