   2 outlets · first: rte.ie Extreme weather

   Machine summary Coastal erosion forced the cancellation of the Ocean Way Festival. Santa Monica lost its beach venue to 15-foot waves and storm runoff, while Malibu evacuated 31 homes and Dana Point declared seven homes uninhabitable.

   1. Waves up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) and runoff from a storm drain outfall, generated by Hurricane Marie, eroded a large portion of the festival site.
   2. Mayor Caroline Torosis said: "The surf took the beach we planned this on, and we cannot put tens of thousands of festival-goers on that sand until it's safe."
   3. In Malibu, officials ordered the evacuation of 31 homes after pounding surf opened a sinkhole on the driveway of Nicolas Cage's beachfront home.
   4. After fast coastal erosion, at least seven Dana Point homes were ruled unfit to live in, and one house collapsed into the sea.
   5. Scientists say a near-record strength El Niño climate episode is warming Pacific waters, with human-caused climate change thought to be supercharging the heating and amplifying storm volatility.
