Underneath an Atmospheric River

22 February 2024: Here are two images taken in Hermosa Beach on Monday February 19 when LA County was directly under an ‘atmospheric river,’ also known as the pineapple express. The rain had let up long enough for me to take a walk down to the beach and see what the ocean looked like. In the first image the spray thrown up by the surf is obscuring the Manhattan Beach pier. The second image looks south toward the Redondo Beach Harbor breakwater.
