At least three people
were rescued in Santa Cruz, after a portion of the municipal wharf collapsed into the ocean on December 23, as winter swells hammered the Northern California coast.Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office
advised residents and visitors to avoid the area, with the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and some local amenities displaying an “abundance of caution” and
closing down for the remainder of the day.Aerial drone footage recorded by Kong Vue shows damage done to the wharf, as well as what he described as broken pieces and debris floating on the water. Credit: Kong Vue via Storyful
