DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Want to zip right back to the West Coast, to Los Angeles, and to what has been a very tough day weather- wise. We have from our affiliate KTTV Rory Markas joining us now. Rory, looks like you're on the beach. And trying to guess, but I can't. Are you close to Malibu? No, you're farther south.</s>RORY MARKAS, KTTV REPORTER: ... as a matter of fact, in the last two or three minutes, the sun has actually broken through for the first time in about 24 hours. It rained all night last night, and right now we're sort of in the calm between storms. If you look down the coast here in Malibu, the Malibu Pier is actually closed for renovations. And the high tide is expected to hit here in just over an hour, about 9:40 local time. Alice's Restaurant there on the Malibu Pier, a very famous spot, is closed during those renovations. But you can see further down the coast the water really smacking up against those rocks. That's a hotel off there in the distance. And in the next hour or so, it could possibly even come very close to some homes that are right on the beach. Also, the water is very dirty. There is a lot of bacteria in the water because there hasn't been much rain here in the Los Angeles area prior to today. So everything that has built up in the flood channel and the storm drains has washed into the water today. And lifeguards are recommending at least 72 hours before any surfers try these big waves here, Daryn.</s>KAGAN: Absolutely. Rory Markas, thank you very much for that report.
