I'm so jealous that you guys actually have ocean, and storms. I don't want anyone dead or horrible damage but just the excitement of the storms and having weather at all ....instead of just HOT. All the time.
So dangerous to surf near pier. Water can push them against poles & those shells will rip their skin apart - smh
Seems like a bad idea for that surfer to be so close to the piling… especially in this weather?
Apparently, it’s the new update that Citizen is using for monitoring video feeds. I’ve noticed most recently that some videos won’t even stay up. Citizen will bleed them if someone is crossing or certain actions are.
