This video is pretty eye opening.

The first part of this video covers a stretch of Coast Highway that my younger son used to take every day on his way to school. The fact that this huge gash showed up so quickly is very concerning. Like the guy filming said, I can’t imagine the side of this cliff lasting past winter.

And in the next part where he shows Aliso Beach, the water comes all the way up to the parking lot. The lot was already closed since a previous storm flooded the parking lot.

I took this picture of my daughter at Aliso Beach in December 2025. She is standing maybe a hundred yards from where I took the picture. Granted, the video was taken when it was high tide and we are dealing with Hurricane Rachel, but all that sand, all that stretch of beach from the parking lot is now gone.
