Way opened the we opened the minds just any time to see it crash down. Blinds. Reporter a 60foot tree ripped down the side, a web of branches blocking the view. We are deciding not is the beginning of trees down this winter, hopefully not on our house. Reporter when this fell, this tree hit houses and cars normally parked here. We feel very lucky.

See the winds crashing on to the pier and on to some cars. The National Weather service issued High Surf Advisory for several areas along the coast. Santa cruz saw waves reach about 30 feet.

It kind of throw me. It was kind of threw me. It was a surprise. Reporter the shoppers are more accustomed to the private security that is here yearround, but this crowd can increase trouble, why not increase enforcement.

It is a lucks i can a luxury we couldnt do and we got away from it from the past calm couple of years. The past couple of years. Reporter most appreciable tiff, the merchants. They have noticed shoplifting is down, and having an officer closeby means no waiting for one to respond from across town to catch a thief. It is somebody with authority here in the mall to help protect us. Unfortunately, with a lot of shoplifters, by the time you get mall security and they go after them, they dont do anything for us.
