Officials lifted evacuation warnings in Santa Cruz County for the areas near the Rio Del Mar esplanade, Capitola’s beachfront, and Pajaro Dunes, the county announced on social media Thursday afternoon. The coastlines were inundated with water earlier in the day as huge waves pushed debris onto the land, but more widespread flooding was so far avoided Santa Cruz’s East Cliff Drive, which was blocked earlier in the day by a log, is now “open and passable,” according to a county post.
