Hurricane Marie causes flooding and dangerous waves in California; video

Hurricane Marie caused flooding, strong waves, and dangerous rip currents along the southern California coast in the United States during the Labor Day holiday weekend, observed on the first Monday of September. In Seal Beach, seawater flooded parking lots near the pier and came close to oceanfront properties. The incident occurred on Saturday, when Marie was still hundreds of kilometers off the coast, pushing ocean water into areas normally occupied by vehicles and pedestrians. In one of the parking lots, a car became partially surrounded by water and had to be removed with the help of approximately 12 people, according to ABC7. A local resident, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years, stated that waves in the area are normally between 30 and 60 centimeters, but during the event they reached levels far above the usual.
