BLOWOUT

A few days before a King Tide, storm waves broke through the Berm between Cleone Lake and the Pacific Ocean at MacKerricher Park in Cleone, California. If the storm and the King tide had hit at the same time the damage could have been much greater. This is a collection of 3 different days and the changing conditions at MacKerricher Beach.
