Panic in the coastal city of Ventura, California. On the beach promenade, passers-by film a huge wave rolling towards the coast from the Pacific. At the last moment they realize: the wave is much bigger than expected.
A powerful Pacific storm produced monster waves along the California coast on Thursday, from San Diego to north of San Francisco. The National Weather Service warned of coastal flooding and high swells with waves between 28 and 40 feet high.
Surprised by wave
In Ventura County, Southern California, a massive wave broke through and over beach barriers, flooded coastal roads and even swept away a car. Several people were surprised by the wave and had to flee. In total, at least eight people were injured and taken to hospital. The impact was so severe that road cleanup crews had to use bulldozers to clear debris from State Highway 1 south of San Francisco.
