UPDATE: A stunning waterfall has emerged in Dana Point, California, attracting large crowds eager to witness the natural spectacle following days of heavy rainfall. The winter storm that swept through Southern California has created a breathtaking scene, drawing visitors to Harbor Drive, just across the marina.
The waterfall, formed from suburban runoff, began flowing dramatically after the recent storm, which lasted several days. Witnesses report the water splitting into two streams due to a rock formation, creating a picturesque view in Orange County. “We’ve been to Niagara, Rainbow Falls, and everything in Yosemite, but this one is awesome,” said Ronnie, a visitor from San Diego. “And I know it’s not permanent, but it’s special today.”
Local residents are equally captivated by the unusual sight. “This is beautiful for this area because it’s not a natural wonder of everyday life,” noted Rene Hansaker, a Perris resident. “This is just once a year, during the rainy season. And it’s perfect.”
However, while the waterfall is visually stunning, authorities warn that the water is not safe for consumption. The public is advised to refrain from drinking from the waterfall or standing directly beneath it due to the runoff from the community above the cliff.
The latest weather conditions have made this temporary phenomenon possible, and it is expected to draw even more visitors throughout the day. As people flock to the area, local businesses in Dana Point are seeing a surge in foot traffic, providing a much-needed boost to the economy following recent storms.
As the day progresses, officials are monitoring the situation closely. If you plan to visit, be cautious and stay safe while enjoying this rare natural event.
Stay tuned for more updates as crowds continue to gather to celebrate this unique occurrence in Dana Point.
