Hugh waves trigger flooding, injure several people in California

A series of powerful storms in the Pacific Ocean are driving towering waves into the California coastline, triggering flooding and posing a significant risk to people and structures along the coast.
 
Monstrous, 20-foot-plus waves on Thursday crashed over seawalls and swept away and injured several people, forced rescues and sent a damaging surge of water through coastal California streets.
 
A brief dip in wave heights may occur in some locations along the California coast on Friday as one storm pushes ashore.
 
The danger is expected to quickly ramp back up later on Friday and Saturday as another system develops behind it.
