Hurricane Marie has passed to the south of us and instead of rain, she sent a bit of surf.

A lot of surf, actually.

And a lot of people came to the Malibu Pier to see it. They jammed PCH:

...filled the beach:

And turned the sidewalk into a carnival:

The TV crews were there:

A drone was there:

Photogs made camp:

Bits and pieces of the pier came loose:

A bulldozer built up a sand berm:

And hundreds of people hit the water. (Including Laird Hamilton.) (More Laird in the video below.)

Because the whole time, this was happening:
