Several curious onlookers were witnessing the strong waves on the California coast when, suddenly, they had to flee in a matter of seconds to avoid being engulfed by the fury of the ocean, as you can see in the main video that accompanies the news. The wave swept away 20 people, of whom eight had to be hospitalized.

The same moment captured by a security camera shows how the force of the water manages to move even a large car.

The waves, up to 12 meters high, have part of the American west coast in suspense, which everything indicates is facing a hectic end of the year. And this is precisely what a bar looked like after the water broke in and moved all its tables and chairs.

To this scenario we must add streaks of wind up to 80 kilometers per hour, in addition to intense rains in some points. This is a ‘perfect combo’ that favors the floods that are destroying part of the bay.

And while some flee from the numerous warnings, others daringly go in the opposite direction, like some surfers who take advantage of the 2023 discount time trying to control the biggest wave of the entire year.
