Already dealing with three local emergencies as it tries to recover from the destructive Norte fire and a surge in coastal erosion from two El Niño-related Pacific storms, San Clemente may now be facing damage from yet another climate-fueled emergency: a tornado.

Patriots lose, but comported themselves well in loss to Bears, and other observations
Get Point AfterGet exclusive analysis and insight on the Patriots and the NFL, delivered to your inbox on weekdays during the season. Enter EmailTight end Eli Raridon on his way to a touchdown during the third quarter. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe StaffThursday’s loss exposed some issues — the secondary couldn’t cover the Bears’ receivers, and the 10 accepted penalties were far too many. But the Patriots should get healthier in the coming weeks, and their issues are fixable. Playing a talented, well-coached team, the Patriots fought hard and comported themselves well. It bodes well for the rest of the season.⋅ Maye couldn’t pull out the win, but he was impressive as ever — composed, accurate and tough. He shook off a slow start to complete 24-of-31 passes for those 321 yards and two touchdowns, neutralizing the Bears’ blitz with a flurry of throws underneath to his tight ends and running backs. His 7-yard touchdown run in the first half was all effort, taking a blast at the 2-yard line but fighting through the defender and stretching the ball over the goal line.
