A powerful storm in California, US, caused a large section of the Santa Cruz Wharf to collapse into the ocean on Monday, December 23, sending a 150-foot portion of the pier floating away. City workers were on the pier when it crumbled, with two requiring rescue by lifeguards while one managed to swim to safety. The collapse occurred after the area was hit by a large swell, producing waves up to 25 feet. The incident caused two workers to be hospitalized, and authorities have warned locals to stay clear of the ocean. The National Weather Service Bay Area issued alerts, cautioning that waves could reach up to 60 feet in some areas. US: Beachfront House Plunges Into Ocean in North Carolina’s Outer Banks After Hurricane Ernesto Impact, Video Surfaces.
