Well....shit.
romavictamuthafuckah
lol, If a storm surge is coming in, I would think your bow would face into it to avoid getting flipped/tossed but what do I know
knifiespoonie
Oh no. Wait....some rich assholes inconvenienced a little bit to take out his boat? Boo fucking hoo

"So Cal residents devastated by massive 0.5 inch downpour, accompanied by inlet tsunamis! Why Lord? Whyyyyyy?"
Svartsinn
Waves were breaking onto CA-1. Didn't think much of it until I tried to drive back an hour later and saw the destruction.
VibratingNipples
and there more rain coming over the next few weeks. Expecting 12 inches of rain and 4-10 feet of more snow in the mountains

Those poor poor millionaires

Please note: Nothing was wiped out. a few broken docs and shaken boats. Also, they are probably RICH, who cares...they'll just buy more..
DoIactuallyneedaUserName
...crap.

That looks a lot like the Santa Cruz marina after the Fukushima tsunami https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Afa4pjWg4

'Wiped out'.
LocalPumpkinHero
SELL THEIR HOMES TO WHO?!?

FUCKING AQUAMAN???

On the other hand: rich people's shit getting destroyed.
NomadUniverse
I dont understand how protection against this wasn't thought of. Cyclone aside, it's an earthquake zone.
GuitarBobMonterey
Howz earthquakes got to do w/ it.
TimothyTRiG
Earthquakes and landslides at sea cause tsunamis.

Who unmutes when there's no obvious reason to?
Cats2cats
Then why are you showing pictures of individual docks owned by homeowners?
ShiftingPattern
Because it still fits the technical definition of a marina.
Cats2cats
Just barely. No offering of other facilities.

Republicans: Climate change isn't a big deal.
mangonel
Tidal soliton, or 'bore' wave.

I don't understand how the dock is not better support?
BIC777
It didn't look like a huge wave. Did a lot of damage though.
Murmull
Mini tsunami., The entire body of water is moving not just surface swell.
ShiftingPattern
Look again. It isn't about that little crest at the start of the surge. The water level rises several feet in a few seconds. Massive flow.
NomadUniverse
Not the size, its the energy behind it
DingleberryForrest
Dontowrry, a crew of 50 Mexicans will come in with pumps and have it done by spring migration

Buy another one you rich motherfucker

That’s Ventura! I used to live there!

Wiped out?

Right? Don't call it wiped out unless boats are up by those houses

lilmookieesquire
SLAMMMMMMED!
anotherIngloriousHandle
they’re very sensitive
Imakeupvoices
Yeah it's gonna be damn near impossible to lightly pull that dock back over.
MurderGoat4
Lmao. This was definitely my favorite comment here ?
MurderGoat4
*Boats do what they were made to do and float*
secondgoaround
The dock peaced out at least.

*pieced out too

It even scratched the paint.
NomadUniverse
Oh, in this context it means 'rich people slightly inconvenienced"
Kingstonboy
Enough to say "Wow".
Tyaldan
A SLIGHT IN CONVENIENCE?!?! ILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THOSE BOATS ARE RUINED! RUUUUUUUINED! The wine coolers fell over and leaked a drop!

Well, Ventura isn't Newport, but they aren't poor.

I keep seeing ads on TV that say help Florida with disaster recovery. Is it bad I chuckle every time?
mohavewolfpup
My thoughts exactly. Watching the average cost of a house for someone more deserving banging around there
thevortexmaster
Was gonna say I know lots of not wealthy people with boats but then I noticed it's not a random mooring but connected to houses. Ya rich
HoneyBadgersAreBadAsses
Taking money from taxpayers?
Alektrauniccountermeasures
Anyone not living in poverty is EVIL!!!
thesameasyours
Youre not even close to what my comment represents
Alektrauniccountermeasures
Hahaha, what a tool, this response makes me absolutely sure I hit the nail on the head here, too easy

thesameasyours
And the mansion they are attached to?
battleofhastings1066
Those are fishing mansions.
thesameasyours
Probably write it off as a business expense and pay $0 taxes
LTP88
It's OK, these were their second yachts, the first ones are fine.
thesameasyours
These are rhe yachts rhey feed their big yachts
LTP88
Oh, so I guess it will be a problem then.. Maybe the big yachts will starve.
wiltsjunk
Not everyone who owns a boat is a millionaire wtf. These aren't yachts
thesameasyours
Look at the homes theyre attached to
TheBrofessionaI
Yeah. Especially that pontoon. Fuck those guys.
thesameasyours
They started off with a small boat, then they saw Jaws
geocanslim
I'll never recover from this unless I lay off 1000 people
slaitch
Most of those vessels are affordable for the middle class. The millionaire is who owns the marina.
thesameasyours
A 15 footeris about $150k. Hardly an affordable middle class thing
wiltsjunk
My dad has a 34' sailboat. He was a union telecom technician, as middle class as can be.
robpaschal
What's a union?
Notyourfatherswookie
You can buy 20-30ft sailboats on craigslist or ebay for waaaaaaaaay cheaper
TheWarHymn
Not just the purchase cost, think about the upkeep.
thesameasyours
Come to think of it, I do have $10k up my butlers ass
Kingdugga
Anyone who's ever owned a boat can tell you, there's no such thing as a cheap boat.
fedoraeuphoria
Bust Out Another Thousand. My dad owned a 36’ Catalina for 30 years and that saying is no joke lol
Kingdugga
Ah yes, the middle class who own oceanfront houses with their own private docks in *checks notes* Southern California.
SirSmurfalot
More like middle-millionaires.
thesameasyours
Ocean front home in SoCal is only $3 million. Pn ny way to buy one
SybilCrawley
thesameasyours
Sometimes only $10 million
LasciviousHedgehog
...only....
thesameasyours
Sometimes only $5 million

notimelikethepast
Buying the boat, perhaps. Owning a boat is another story.
aFadingMemory
Consider it like having a private dock attached to the property your mansion is on.
thesameasyours
Look at the homes theyre attached to
FuzzyX
Modest family homes no condominiums or large lands. Nice area but boats not that expensive.
thesameasyours
Modest size home, on a private marina, with private docks, in SoCal are only about $3 million
SugarTeet
Some folks work a union job for 40+ years and live WAY beneath their means to be able to retire to this. Just a little perspective ;)
mohavewolfpup
And if they do, can imagine their screeching from here about all the “muh socialism” triggers. So it’s still a wash
SugarTeet
Not retiring in so-cal mind you, but other, much more affordable locations.
wingweaver415
A union job for 40 years still doesnt pay for a place in socal. Just a little more perspective ;)
SugarTeet
As stated in my reply to my comment;)
jwillr86
That doesn't exist anymore. That's why we're upset, because these people shut the door behind them. I'm 36 and I will never retire. Fuck off
LeakyBunghole
I mean I’ve met retired firefighters with houses in the Midwest and florida who travel recreationally in a $100k RV… not too far fetched
AtlasFutureOverthrowsAmerica
Don’t buy a lambo if you can’t afford to get keyed
Dragon10449
Just cause I can afford the fix doesnt mean Im ok with some inconsiderate asshole damaged my property (my car just got keyed for no reason)
WesleyMun
Nice one, never heard that version before
BluPenguin
So you're ok with whatever you're driving getting keyed? You bought it so you can afford it right?
AtlasFutureOverthrowsAmerica
Big difference between being ok with it and being able to afford it. The point of the saying is to not over-leverage yourself.
