1 high surf, as filed by the National Weather Service.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
1 high surf. Local standard time, as filed.
Strong northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph produced locally rough seas in Morro Bay. One wave flipped a boat, throwing five adults and two children into the water. Unfortunately, both children drowned.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
