According to a post on the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office's Facebook page, large waves and high tides caused some to be ordered to leave their homes.
If you can safely leave, please do so immediately. Shelter in place and move away from ocean facing windows if you can't evacuate. If you're in danger due to wave intrusion or structural damage, call the emergency number.
The huge waves and damage caused by the storm are shown in the videos.
After a series of storms hit California, the damage was the most recent.
The governor of California declared a statewide emergency in the wake of the storms.
There are more storms coming in. After a brief let-up Friday, another atmospheric river is expected this weekend, followed by another early next week and possibly another later next week.
