Back in the 1990s, a friend and I drove to Pacifica during a similar major storm. We were parked and standing by the seawall, when we were drenched by the aftermath of a broken sneaker wave. My pants literally fell down from the wave's force. A few days later, I found sand and small shells in the engine compartment - funny, yet very scary stuff!

great footage Leo. I almost got an apartment in Pacifica back in the day. Right on the coast. Till the locals said "it won"t last". They were right

Attacked so many times just sitting at the beach parking and parking near the beach. The size up every vehicle, crazies trying every door handle sometimes and nobody does anything. SF coastal beach areas seem to be a guarantee of getting the windows smashed in but IDK what they did since the homeless tents went clear. The military found the homeless at bioweapons labs and warehouses killed with bioweapons or organ harvested. They were considered an impossible disease in the streets.

I have no sympathy for people that insist on owning properties along the water and then crying about it when Mother Nature does her usual thing. For all those who chose to build/buy so close to the water, the damage is predictable and inevitable; the coastline will continue to wear away. These residents deserve to live with their risky/foolish decisions; they do not deserve FEMA funds to rebuild/refurbish each time there's an extreme weather event (which will continue to escalate). If one chooses to reside there, deal with the fallout and don't expect a bailout or subsidy. Wanting a "priceless" view and coastal lifestyle should not become the public's problem. It's called consequences! Shame on the corrupt Coastal Commission and city planners for enabling such insanely dangerous, costly living conditions in the first place. Stop permitting buildings to be built so close to the ocean and stop insuring those homes.

You said it my new best friend!! I couldn’t have said it better myself! In a valley in Washington state it would flood EVERY year, without fail. And the residents would always say “we choose to live here and here we will live. We’ll rebuild even better this time!!” Every single year!!! I never understood why the insurance companies paid off so they had $$ to rebuild!!!! What a bunch of people who played the system….and won. UGH!!😠

Thanks for the tips!

I lived in San Diego back in the early 80's, near Ocean Beach. and a memorable storm there had waves breaking every few minutes over the OB pier (which was quite a bit higher than this one). Fortunately, all the land near there was public beach at the time, so the damage was minimal. But in La Jolla they let people build just off the sand, and there was a restaurant there which got flooded every few years (and trashed by the storm I'm talking about). I'm not sure if it's still there. Politicians love to let people blame climate change for fires and storms, since it relieves them of the responsibility for letting people build on the sand or in the middle of a forest.

@Ray-rj52459

6 ай бұрын

So true any excuse to control your life, I remember this area before the pier was built and all the rocks and concrete were added, the road that runs Parallel to the beach use to flood all the time and parts of the road would be washed away but it was rebuilt and we thought of something better than constantly rebuilding it great planning by the city back than definitely good old days. Totally agree with you

Just feet from the ocean wow not so much for cars and homes though the weather destroys them

For New Years can you please do a montage video of all your favourite saying.

Perils of living right on the waterfront. Watching this got me wondering how those many decades-old piers withstand the salt water, pounding surf, and endlessly shifting sands without experiencing major tilting or collapsing. Do they drill the posts deep into the bedrock? I can’t even imagine how do that, in the ocean, but they must do that for the deep sea oil rigs, etc, right? Great footage. Stay safe & grounded, Leo! 🌊📱😎💦

This is similar to Palos Verdes. There are houses falling into sink holes, because they put houses on land that wasn’t fully stable. Don’t have a house THAT close to the beach, or don’t buy houses on land that isn’t stable. People really need to research the land and area before even buying a house. Make sure your house wasn’t built over a former burial grounds or former dumping grounds, I’ve seen that type of stuff as well.

Thank God they are using boards and sand bags to STOP THE OCEAN. In the Midwest they have this a product called "Tornado-B-Gone" and it's a life saver, it's not cheap and always out of stock but worth searching for it. Do you have any videos of roofs with "Hurricane Stopper" paper rolled out on them that you can show? In AZ we use "Cactus In A Can" to grow instant walls for blocking wind storms also, it's $12,000 a can (in California because they will pay it) but only $20 here. Thanks Leo

Waves Waves Waves! I could watch and listen to them for hours. But many people don’t understand the power of the sea. I was in a life-threatening accident having been pinned under a rogue wave many years ago and the ocean schooled me well to respect their power and ability to cause horrific damage. Folks, please be mindful when at the ocean. Leo, if I could afford to join I sure would! Please watch yourself my new friend. Be well and keep safe in your travels. ❤️🐈
