A fire broke out early Friday, Sept 18, at the Vistra battery storage plant at 7301 Highway 1 in Moss Landing, inside the building damaged in the January 2025 fire. The Sheriff's shelter-in-place for the zones within a third of a mile (MRY-B047, B050, B053) was lifted at 4pm Friday. There are no evacuation orders. Dolan Road is closed at Castroville Blvd and at Elkhorn Road; Caltrans reports Highway 1 open through Moss Landing. EPA air monitors found no hydrogen fluoride and no PM2.5 exceedances on Friday.

Drama: Directed by BAFTA, Emmy, and two-time Academy Award-nominee, Maggie Gyllenhaal (New York, NY) (Filmed in New York, NY) Dedicated to Marilyn Monroe on the centenary of her birth, the film depicts Monroe at the height of her fame and as a version of Marilyn the world never got the chance to see. Flesh Impact takes its title from a phrase once used to describe Marilyn Monroe’s aura – that she looked so real and luminous on camera that viewers felt they could touch her through the screen. Stars: Ellen Burstyn, Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard, and Sepideh Moafi. The film is presented by Genesis and is a joint production of Superprime, INNOCEAN USA, and The Cut. A mysterious elderly woman auditions at a small New York City black box theater. As she shares her acting credentials and experience, hidden truths about her identity and misconceptions about her past begin to surface. NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE. Runtime: 21:00, Founders Theatre
