#HighSurf - Watch when a rogue wave hits the beach at the end of Seward Ave in the City of Ventura. This occurred during the high surf advisory at high tide. Because of this wave eight people were transported to local hospitals. Currently the beaches are closed in Ventura County and so is the Ventura Pier. For your safety, please avoid the area near the ocean, as it can be quite dangerous. Video credit: Ventura Police Department and the City of Ventura. @Ventura_PD

Never a shortage of Darwin Award nominees.

Problem in, there are long lines of stupids who will contend those who got hurt just didn't do it right... :shrug:

We see that in politics, too.
