In Capitola's celebration for the reopening of its historic wharf, locals embraced joy while feeling the tension of memories from the devastating storm that once claimed it.
Josh Fisher, who owns a coffee shop and restaurant, shared a heavy reminder of the past: 'It was brutal... The whole town was underwater. We were basically witnesses...'
Paula Iverson expressed her affection for the town, highlighting the mixed feelings as locals celebrated their public space's return, knowing the risks of coastal living.
There’s always, it’s not if, it’s when; we live here at the beach, it’s going to happen here again,’ remarked Fisher, showing the ongoing concerns among residents.
