Holy cow.
Pinging Nick.
We used to take the kids to Capitola many times and walked all around town. The video of Soquel Creek below the Stockton Ave Bridge is amazing. I’ve only seen creek be fairly small, nothing like that flood stage.
Capitola is a beautiful seaside village. We go there often and stop at Zelda’s for their great seafood. It’s right on the beach, I’m sure it sustained a lot of damage as did the other restaurants along the road. Sad. Feel sorry for the owners.
Happens every decade or two.
I remember back in the 80’s the was a one lane bridge over a stream on a country road off highway 9 due to being washed out in a huge rainstorm.
It’s going to take a lot of bums to replace the feces on the sidewalks. This is truly a tragedy.
Shade shades of 1982-83 Winter. Lots of damage then. Best wishes to our Northern California FReepers. Stay safe out there.
West coast winter storms. Seen a few.
Beach-entry diving at the end of Ribera Rd in Carmel would be a definite no-go.
Winter steelhead fishing on the rivers would be out as well.
Worked at Sugar Bowl in the early 80’s for a few years.
The Tahoe area snowstorm end of March,’82 was epic.
