California cleanup begins as more storms coming

The cleanup along the Central California coast has begun, even as more storms are forecast over the weekend.

Hurricane-force winds, surging surf and heavy rains from a powerful "atmospheric river" pounded the region and causing flooding. Raging seas damaged two historic piers in Santa Cruz County and damaged numerous oceanfront homes and businesses. Crews assessed damage and began the cleanup while bracing for more wet and wild weather this weekend that could be particularly troublesome for communities already affected.

The nearby seaside village of Capitola suffered possibly the worst damage as waves that were forecast to top 25 feet crashed into homes and restaurants at the mouth of a creek .California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency to allow for a quick response and to aid in cleanup. Weather forecasters say another round of severe storms is expected to hit the California coast this weekend.
