For the first time in history, a beluga whale, which normally lives in arctic waters, was spotted off the coast of Southern California. Now there's an investigation under way to find out where it's going and why.

Drone video taken by Gone Whale Watching owner and Captain Domenic Biagini, or "Captain Dom" in San Diego shows the Beluga happily swimming thousands of miles from home.

Something like this has never been recorded before. Never has this animal been seen off the coast of San Diego, and never this far south in the Pacific Ocean.

Biagini charters sight seers and also takes drone images. He's still in disbelief about the beluga footage he captured.

“Imagine I’m outside at my house in Southern California and I walk out and there’s a polar bear walking down the street. It’s that unusual, it does not make any sense that this whale would be here,” Biagini said.

He said it all started when a friend of his called about the rare sighting. “She called me on the radio and said, ‘Dom we just saw a 15 foot pearly white animal with no dorsal fin.’ I said, ‘Lisa, are you trying to tell me you have a beluga whale in San Diego waters?’”

She wanted his drone expertise because she couldn't quite believe it either. So, he went and they all sat quietly. Watching and waiting for the whale to resurface. After some time it came back up and looked right at the drone.

Captain Dom said the moment was emotional. “I started to get the shakes a little bit because I realized I was going to film this, it was going to happen, I was going to get there in time and I realized how historic this moment was - not just for San Diego but for whale watching as a whole, worldwide.”

And then he got worried. What was it doing here and so far from home? The beluga whale looked healthy enough and while incredible, now what?

Dr. Alissa Deming is the Director of Clinical Medicine at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, California. “One of the questions as a veterinarian that we have, is why did he decide to leave his habitat? That could be an indication of something wrong, his ability to navigate his environment.”

Normally, she said, belugas live in the Cook Inlet of Alaska. They're an endangered species and they're social. They usually travel together.

From the looks of the images, Dr. Deming said the whale is older and it is abnormal that he's alone. His skin looks good and he's not thin, so hopefully he's still getting the food he needs.

But, the whale is still too far away from home and researchers are concerned, and are now looking for it.

“It's definitely searching for a needle in a haystack, a little white needle I guess. A lot of time public reporting and whale watching companies can call things in which is how this was opportunistically sighted. NOAA can put planes up or have the US Coast Guard help on a search but there’s so much water we don’t know which direction this animal went,” Dr. Deming said.

The worry is that it's headed south towards Mexico. Waters are warmer there and the Beluga will be harder to track in international waters.

“We would like them to stay up in the Alaska region. As much as I love beluga whales, I don’t want to see them off our coast because that means there’s something really wrong with their normal habitat up there in Alaska,” Dr. Deming added.

For Captain Dom, who's had an incredible run of luck, spotting the beluga and recently five species of whale and four species of dolphin, it's a dream come true.

“It's so beautiful, belugas as white as they are in waters as blue as ours. That’s not something we see here; we don’t have animals that color in water as bright and sunny as ours.”

An incredible sight, one that's now recorded as historical, and one that everyone hopes to never see again. At least when it comes to belugas hanging out in sunny, Southern California.

Arctic Cold Coming



MIKE: THERE WAS ONE CAR COMING ONE WAY AND ANOTHER CAR COMING THE OTHER WAY. THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR TRYING TO PUSH THE OTHER WOMEN AND THERE WAS NOWHERE TO GO. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. SHEREE: THEY ARE STARTING TO GET LOW ON SUPPLIES, SO PEOPLE ARE DEFINITELY FRUSTRATED. KEVIN: A LOT OF THE STORIES HAVE NOT REALLY GOTTEN CAUGHT UP, SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE MADHOUSE. THAT IS WHY I AM NOT THE ONE COOKING. IT WILL BE FRIGID COME CHRISTMAS MORNING. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A BIKE OR A TRAMPOLINE, IT WILL BE AWFULLY FRIGID ON CHRISTMAS MORNING AROUND THE AREA. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE HAD OFF AND ON SHOWERS THROUGH THE EVENING. A BATCH OF RAIN MOVING UP IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR. AROUND THE 275, MOSTLY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS. IT IS ALL RELATIVELY LIGHT. BACK THROUGH ADAMS COUNTY, ALL LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS. THESE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA WITH NO THUNDER OR LIGHTNING ANTICIPATED. RIGHT HERE, BASICALLY TO THE EAST OF INDIANAPOLIS. NO THUNDER OR LIGHTNING. YOU MIGHT GET A WIND GUST, BUT TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURES. STILL CLOSE TO 50, BUT LOOK AT THE DRAMATIC FALL. IT WILL EVENTUALLY CHANGE THE RAIN INTO SNOWFALL. THE ROADS WILL BE WET. THEY SHOULD BE DRY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I AM NOT TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT WIDESPREAD TRAVEL PROBLEMS , THAT THIS IS A HEADS UP ON ANY POTENTIAL SNOW SQUALLS. AROUND HERE, WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THESE. OTHERWISE, WE SHOULD BE IN DECENT SHAPE. 51 AT THE AIRPORT. AGAIN, IT WILL STAY BLUSTERY THROUGH THE NIGHT. IT LOOKS LIKE BETWEEN 2:00 AND 4:00, TEMPERATURES TAKE A NOSEDIVE. FUTURECAST, IT LOOKS LIKE THE RAIN WILL GO OVER TO SNOW. REACHING THE METRO SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO 6:00 AND 8:00. NOTICE THE SMALL WINDOW FOR SNOWFALL. ONE OR TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR SNOWFALL. THE SNOW SQUALLS OR SNOW SHOWERS WILL TRY TO DEVELOP CHRISTMAS MORNING. I HONESTLY THINK A LOT OF US WILL MISS OUT ON IT THIS GO AROUND. IT IS A STEADY FALL. FRIGID INDEED. TUMBLING TO 28. IT WILL NOT BE NEARLY THAT WARM DOING TODAY. BASICALLY UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. WHAT A REBOUND. IT GETS DANGEROUSLY COLD JU

Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) to ERCOT and other power companies after millions of Texans were left in the dark amid winter weather.

The CIDs surround power outages, emergency plans, energy pricing and more.

“I’m using the full scope of my Constitutional powers to launch an investigation into ERCOT and other entities that grossly mishandled this week’s extreme winter weather. While Texans pulled together to get their communities through this disaster, they were largely left in the dark,” said Attorney General Paxton. “We will get to the bottom of this power failure and I will tirelessly pursue justice for Texans.”

Those who received a CID include:

  • AEP Texas
  • Calpine Corporation
  • CenterPoint Energy Services
  • ERCOT
  • Griddy Energy
  • La Frontera Holdings
  • Luminant Generation Company
  • NRG Texas Power
  • Oncor Electric Delivery Company
  • Panda Sherman Power
  • Temple Generation I
  • Texas-New Mexico Power Company
