What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIn Capistrano Beach, seven homes are now red-tagged and thirteen more yellow-tagged as high surf keeps battering the Orange County coast, ABC7 Los Angeles reports.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThis is file footage, not the actual Capistrano surf, but the ocean has the same energy. Roll it, Vera.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm not watching. I'm only looking at it with my eyes.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHere it comes. Look at that first set rolling in toward the dark sand, clear blue sky, zero warning.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWatch the second wave, it breaks early and the whole thing goes white.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRun it back.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine. It's continuous. The foam never stops, and it's honestly the most committed thing on tonight's show.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentViral Score?

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSeven out of ten, because the waves were loud, and a neighbor with a red tag will never forgive that second set.
