Residents along California's coast are on high alert following a major storm that resulted in dangerous conditions, including high surf and flooding threats. The National Weather Service has issued a high surf warning, cautioning of large-breaking waves reaching up to 35 feet. This warning is in effect until 6 p.m. Tuesday.
The weather service emphasized the unpredictability of large waves, which can sweep across beaches and pull individuals into the sea from various coastal structures. As a result, some California cities have ordered evacuations of beachfront properties as a precaution.
