Evacuations Issued in Santa Cruz County Amid Massive Waves

Authorities issued evacuations for beaches and coastal areas across Santa Cruz County as massive waves threatened the coastline during back-to-back storms. The National Weather Service warned of widespread flooding, strong winds, and water levels reaching 50 feet at Mavericks near San Francisco. While expert surfers scrambled to catch building-size swells between two storm systems on Saturday morning, everyday residents were urged to stay away from beaches due to dangerous conditions.
