Yeah, the elevation of that section of road, is like 10. Its right on the coast, and there isn't much protection from big waves. Last El Nino, I saw waves easily breaking onto the freeway.

I can't imagine what this freak rainstorm is doing along with the ocean.

That looks exactly like the road to Christcurch in New Zealand...weird,
I had a feeling 1 would be getting hammered. I used to live on the ocean in Palos Verdes and when big storms would come, I'd fear for my life...scary


New Zealand= Ca Coast?

Matt, when I looked through all your NZ pics, all I could think was "damn that looks exactly like San Luis Obispo"! I think New Zealand and the Central Coast of CA are probably very similar in climates. Maybe I should just move back there.

Just promise me you're going to do some welding, and I won't be too mad.
