Sea Cliff below Pacific Coast HWY fell in to the water This Morning

We went back down to Crystal Cove this morning to check on that crack that was getting close to PCH, see if there's any new erosion or if that crack got any bigger. We found a lot of water in the tunnel to get over there. Yikes. We worked our way over. Go get a better look at it. That cliff is definitely getting more and more eroded right now so go check it out. Peak high tide is coming in. We're about 30 minutes away. Look at how big it is already right now. It's demolished. The water is almost going up into the tunnel. Pretty insane. Isn't this a miraculous ocean that is so powerful and so fun to watch? We're standing here, Blair. Good size wave. About to go straight into the cliff. The cliff is crumbling. Watch part of the cliff fall. We just watched a good portion of the cliff crumble and it was kind of just crumbling for a while. That region of the cliff is below the big crack that kind of leads up to PCH. So, yeah, that part of the cliff is definitely still eroding. It's peak high tide and waves are really getting up to the bottom of it. As you can tell, it's just eating away and making the cliff steeper and steeper until it gives out. So, definitely worth seeing and waiting. That was a lot of waiting to get that shot. But yeah, pretty crazy. Yep, we got the news filming it. Helicopter up there. Tide is really high. Lifeguards are checking it out as well. We got part of the cliff crumbling. It's not even high tide yet. Probably going to be a lot more chunks that come down today. This is a crazy big set. Far up into the tunnel too. Still looks like we got a long ways to go before that crack closer to PCH gives out. but the cliff is definitely actively eroding and it's something to someone to keep an eye on it looks like my guess is Caltrans was moving their cameras over there to keep a closer eye on it so it's gonna be shedding dirt like that probably every day in the high tide for a little while good news is that the high tides are getting lower every day probably won't have big high tides like that until the end of the month might be in the clear for a little while down there Oh my god! Appreciate you not letting me walk this water. That's a wrap at El Morro. We're gonna go check in on Skylar, see where she's filming at. Sounds like she's getting a bunch of Laguna right now. Like five stories up. That's the Surf and Sand Hotel. It's not quite peak high tide yet. We're about an hour out from peak high tide. I was just looking at Brook Street around the corner here where it was kind of exploding on those houses. watch out watch out guys over there to bluebird and check it out from that angle all the boulders rolling around this one could be crazy been high tide yet i can like feel this thing shaking under my feet broken i got a better angle if you can see see there both of those panes of glass are totally shattered we've got 30 40 minutes until high tide wow holy smokes look at that wave look at all those sandbags did not last got pulled straight in the ocean man oh my that used to be like a full like it would extend out long you could see like where the grass how long the grass was and now it's just All caved in underneath when a really good one comes through the water will shoot out of this grate like that Gosh, a cormorant just ducked over that wave. Just look at all this. It's just concrete. This is a good one Where's bond? Let's get a status report. Hey, what's up? Lagoon right now filming I was about to go over to Aliso. I think Oh for sure, there's some really crazy explosions. How's it looking on your end? Definitely waves washing up and hitting it. We're going to start heading back that way. Hazardous and dangerous conditions exist. So the whole parking lot is roped off, and they've got security working to keep everybody safe. But as you can see, a lot of damage, tons of sand, virtually no sidewalk anymore. The lifeguard stand is in the parking lot, and we're just at about peak high tide now. Look at all these boulders. we were here a couple days ago and the like security guys were saying that on the higher tide these boulders were just being chucked from over here all the way through the parking lot and lost pier is open for business wow look at that thing i've never seen that before in my life did you see that rainbow let's go up on the cliff who is that we're back we're back you were couch surfing they didn't couch surf the last day it's a miracle look at him go high speed feels pretty good too well that thing's gonna fall off too huh you can see under the sidewalk look at the damage to the parking lot just broken slabs of asphalt they moved all the trash cans back here because the other day when we were in Texas they all got swept from the sidewalk here into the parking lot and all the concrete benches too which like Have to be so heavy. It would take so much force to move those kind of insane Power of the ocean looking back to you. He's no cash There used to be an old parking lot up here, but that got gutted out so you can't even park over here anymore. There used to be like ten years ago basketball court Yeah, remember that? Yep basketball court boardwalk palm trees this place has been getting hit hard for several years but definitely at its lowest right now they're getting the sand from there's like no sand left i wonder if they're trucking that sand in oh the shrapnel from the houses these are uh the sand trucks whoa yeah that's that's where uh she took a video of just the other day and someone was parked there and a wave exploded onto their car with the windows down with the windows down you're about to get car wash right here so all down here there's been like a lot of damage to the houses that are right on the beach here so blair's getting some eyes in the sky oh my gosh this house is already getting even on the low tide this thing's waves are exploding up in the air. Oh, wow, no way Every single house is just vulnerable to getting smoked. They're all, like, right on the sand down there. More sand. Want to get an interview in? I'm good on news interviews. I'll stick to YouTube. YouTube news. Oh, missed it. Oh. Oh. Dude, it's a vibe down here. That's a lot. Oh, it's a vibe. Oh, my. Is that all house travel? I don't know. Palms. Could be. Palms and house. How was your morning, Blair? It was actually pretty exciting. There was some commotion at Crystal Cove. There was fire trucks, lifeguards, news helicopters, a lot of waves washing up and hitting the cliff, which is what you kind of don't want to see. The crack going to PCH actually didn't get any bigger, so that's kind of a good sign. But the cliff face in front of the crack was definitely given out. Nowhere is really getting better right now. And there's just tons of swell in the forecast, non-stop. At least the tides aren't as high as they have been, so that might provide a little bit of relief. But yeah, the past few days have been kind of just non-stop waves slamming into structures all over the coast.
