Santa Cruz beaches to close because of dangerous high surf

Weather is having an impact you're looking live at Santa Cruz and we just learned the city council, the city just announced city beaches and the Santa Cruz wharf will be closed starting tonight at 10pm. See that flag blowing wildly there in the wind the waves crashing off to the shore. This closure will run through Sunday morning because of high surf and hazardous conditions. Waves could hit as high as 35 feet in this area. I don't think I've ever known them to close the beach in Santa Cruz. Do you remember that ever happening, Sal? I've got to imagine it's a weekend, so people are down in Santa Cruz or visiting Santa Cruz to go hang out. Or at least to walk, take the dogs to the beach. Nope. Can't do it by the water. You've got to be careful, yeah. All right, none of this, this is a weather story also, even though you're looking at something pretty cool. The windy, wet weather is taking its toll on wildlife, too. Our photographer, Jaden Scholl, captured this video of a great horned owl hanging out in downtown Oakland this morning. You can see it grasping onto a branch, holding on as the wind blows it around. In case you didn't know, great horned owls are actually fairly common to see around Oakland, But since they're not. Nocturnal, sometimes they might be hard to spot up in the trees. I love owls. They're so cool. I didn't know that there's so many around Oakland. I didn't know that either. We definitely have some open space in Marin. You hear them and they're great because they... Keep track of rodents. Oh, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but their heads swivel around. It's terrifying. Oh, I think they're so cool. What about when you see their eyes at night? No, dude, no. It's scary, right? No, their heads turn 360. You follow Jaden on Instagram. He's got some cool... 360? Not quite, but it seems like it. 340? I don't know. Got some cool still pictures of this. Oh, he does? Oh, he has? Oh, I've got to follow his Instagram Oh, nice. On his IG. Yeah. On his IG, okay. Somebody called you an owl. Me an owl? Yeah. What do you mean? Somebody called you an owl. Where? Why? Why? I don't know. They were being mean? Yeah, I don't have no...
