THE SANTA CRUZ SMALL CRAFT HARBOR WILL BE CLOSED FOR AT LEAST A FEW DAYS WHILE OFFICIALS INSPECT THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY TSUNAMI SURGES THAT STRUCK SANTA CRUZ LAST WEEK. PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES OF THE DAMAGES HAVE REACHED OVER 17 MILLION DOLLARS. 18 VESSELS SANK AFTER FRIDAY’S SURGE AND 4 OTHERS WERE WASHED OUT TO SEA. OFFICIALS FROM THE COAST GUARD AND THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME SAY THAT FUEL LEAKAGE IS A MAJOR FOCUS OF THE EVALUATION.
