A major storm struck California's central coast on Monday, bringing with it flooding, high surf, and tragic incidents that have left communities reeling. The storm, which is expected to intensify as it moves from California to the Pacific Northwest, has already caused significant destruction and loss of life.
One man lost his life after being trapped beneath debris on a beach in Watsonville, while three others were swept into the Pacific Ocean when a pier in Santa Cruz partially collapsed. Despite rescue efforts by the US Coast Guard and local authorities, one man remains missing.
