FOX 11's warning of dangerous SoCal waves draws a crowd

SoCal coast bracing for dangerous waves, coastal flooding

Surf warnings travel fast. FOX 11 Los Angeles posted "SoCal coast bracing for dangerous waves, coastal flooding" on Tuesday, and eight hours later it had passed 125,000 views.

That is far outside the channel's routine. A new FOX 11 upload usually ends its first day with a few thousand views, and this report is on course for nearly forty times that. It is rising while the channel overall is having a slow stretch. Other local stations were quieter too: CBS LA and FOX 13 Tampa Bay were both running below their usual pace, and KTLA 5 stayed close to its norm.

This is also the second wave story in two days to break away from the rest of FOX 11's uploads. A day earlier, the station's surf report on Hurricane Polo ran even faster. This one does not name a storm in its title. Its focus is the shoreline itself, with dangerous surf and the risk of coastal flooding along Southern California's beaches.
