A video has emerged showing a beach in California littered with debris as repeated storms bringing heavy rain, powerful winds and widespread flooding are wreaking havoc across the state. 

The footage taken in Capitola Beach Monday – south of San Jose – depicts the muddy waters of Monterey Bay splashing over piles of logs and other wooden debris as winds could be heard gusting in the background. 

“The endless onslaught of atmospheric river events continues in California,” the National Weather Service said Tuesday, signaling relief is yet to come in the storm-weary state. 

“Torrential rain, widespread flooding, rapid water rises, mudslides and landslides with possible debris flows, heavy mountain snow and gusty high winds all remain threats to the Golden State,” it added. “On Tuesday, heavy to excessive rainfall remains possible, especially in southern California.”
