Sentinel-1 view of Oceano Dunes on Thursday. Bright spots are metal/reflective vehicles (ie RVs or trucks). Dark is typically indicative of "wet", but some inland dune areas are showing as wet on the satellite; wondering if this is rain vs. waves. You can see the big swells offshore. #satellite#OceanoDunes#waves#RemoteImaging
"Rescue crews from throughout the Central Coast responded to the Oceano Dunes in San Luis Obispo County to help evacuate campers during strong waves and high water levels on Thursday... (RVs) and travel trailers were being overcome by crashing waves... vehicle carrying a family of five required a rescue operation as they attempted to cross a creek to leave the camping area. The vehicle was then swept into the waves... A rescue swimmer pulled four adults and one child out of the vehicle to safety. They were transported to a nearby hospital for potential hypothermia." #ocean#rescue#OceanoDunes#CAwx#waves#surf
