The Ventura Country Fire Department shared footage of a "rogue wave" crashing on a Ventura, California beach at high tide on social media
The arrival of winter weather in California has already contributed to natural disasters along the coast.
The Ventura County Fire Department shared a statement on X (formerly Twitter) to report that eight people were hospitalized on Thursday after a “rogue wave” crashed onto a beach in Ventura, California, that morning.
VCFD wrote that the wave slammed onto the shoreline “during the high surf advisory at high tide.”
VCFD also shared footage of the incident. The video captures a tall wave rising and crashing onto the beach, causing a ripple effect of two other, even larger waves following in its path.
