 Several videos are going viral right now showing individuals surfing in floodwaters from recent storms. I'm Brian from Cal OES and I want to emphasize just how dangerous that can be. Never enter floodwaters and never drive through them either. This can put yourself and your friends at risk and take first responders away from other critical situations during an emergency. Also floodwaters are disgusting and dangerous and full of harmful chemicals and bacteria. The surface can easily hide strong currents and dangerous objects. This isn't some epic surf spot, so please don't be that person. For more safety tips that don't involve catching waves in floodwaters, visit news.caloes.ca.gov.
