Waves crash into homes as excavators try to protect California properties
Construction crews on California's coast were seen trying to stop waves from reaching homes. Video shows waves hitting the buildings.
Waves are crashing into homes on the Pacific coast of the US state of California, while construction crews using heavy equipment, including excavators, try to keep water from entering the properties. The scenes were shown in a video published by the news outlet Al Jazeera.
The footage shows work crews attempting to block waves from reaching houses along the coast. Excavators are being used in an effort to protect private property from the sea.
The short description accompanying the video does not say exactly where on the coast this is happening, how many homes are affected, whether anyone has been hurt, or what caused the powerful waves. Because the source does not provide these details, they are not included here.
