According to CBS News, high surf and coastal flooding battered Northern California from Thursday through Saturday, sending massive waves crashing onto shorelines in San Francisco, Pacifica and Santa Cruz. The network published a video report on the conditions, which is available through a CBS News video report on Northern California waves and flooding.
The CBS News summary places the conditions along the coast and names three locations where waves reached shorelines. It describes the period as running from Thursday through Saturday, but it does not give separate start or end times for the surf or the flooding on any of those days, or say whether conditions were the same at each location. The summary's dating of the event is taken from its own wording, and no other date is given here.
The summary does not provide wave heights, the depth or extent of flooding, the number of people affected, or any estimate of damage. It also includes no statements from local officials, emergency managers, or residents, so the account of the event rests on what CBS News stated in its summary alone.
The item lists no author, and the author field in the source record is blank, so no reporter is named for the story. No other outlet's account of the same surf and flooding was available for comparison, which means the details reported here cannot be checked against a second source.
Further detail on the scope of the flooding, any injuries or property damage, and any response by authorities is not contained in the material available for this story. Anyone seeking those specifics would need reporting that goes beyond the CBS News summary, which is the only source used in this article.
