A Canadian family outing turned into a devastating ordeal when a father died while trying to save his 5-year-old daughter swept out to sea during California's severe flash flooding.
Yuji Hu, aged 39, had travelled from Calgary, Alberta, to California with his wife and two children when the incident occurred at Garrapata State Beach in Carmel. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the family had been on the shoreline when a powerful wave surged onto the beach. The wave struck with enough force to pull the young girl, who was wearing a white shirt, into the turbulent Pacific waters.
