CALIFORNIA STORM POUNDS PIERS

By Bob Walsh

Giant ocean swells pushed debris through the front wall and a window, filling the interior with several inches of seawater. Damaging hurricane-force winds, surging surf and heavy rains from a powerful "atmospheric river" pounded California on Thursday, knocking out power to tens of thousands, causing flooding, and contributing to the deaths of at least two people.A support piece from the Capitola Wharf is seen inside the storm damaged Zelda's restaurant in Capitola, Calif., Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023.

 
The very nasty storm currently pounding the formerly great state of California has severely damaged the piers at Capitola and Sea Cliff near Santa Cruz.  In my younger days I spent many happy hours in the area.  It is truly a shame.  

Mother nature can, at time, be a very nasty bitch.
