This isn’t connecting a river to an ocean. I saw the original video and essentially when there’s heavy rains, the water floods in the dunes of the beach. Eventually, someone comes along and clears a little tunnel for the water and it all drains back into the ocean.

There's always that one guy 🌊🏄‍♂️

For all you bright ones, this isn’t a River. She created a channel to drain flood waters and everyone has to do this to keep their properties safe

She just released flood water, she didn't drain every town along the coast of their drinking water 😉

The couple who decided to take a walk on the beach, when they realise they have to cross the other side to get to their car in the parking: 👁👄👁

This is now called the granny canyon 🌊🌊

That granny just got a medal for building a playground for surfers

Don’t underestimate that grandma. She had a shovel and a dream. 😂

She reminded me of that squirrel in Ice Age .

"Yeah there used to me a lake here" "What happened to it ?" "Nothing. The ocean just got a little bigger."

"So granma, What are you in jail for?" "I created a new world."

Nice draining of the dunes. Keep it up grandma good work.

Downtown used to be there until granny came along and flooded it out.

"Is this your first time digging?" "No sonny. I've been digging it since the 60s" ✌️

I was waiting for a shopping cart to hit the surfer

Fun fact. The ocean and river naturally do this, and it seals up when tide comes in at night. And the coast guard sometimes recommends to do this. So this is 1000% okay to do

You know you've been watching shorts so much that you see all 3 parts of this event on different channels

The elderly and baby’s are gods gift to the world😊

Wherever there is digging you'll find this guy....

The freshwater fish entering the saltwater sea: 👁️👄👁️➡️💀

All fun and games until you fall off and your board gets sent to the city of Atlantis😂. 6.6 thousand like omg I’ve never got that many thx pls like if you haven’t 🎉🎉🎉

Beavers: Give us a challenge! Lady with shovel: Yare yare da ze

Just gotta be careful when you do that because that sand erodes pretty fast and unexpectedly.

RIP to all the river life that can't survive in salt water. Edit: thank you to those who were able to add more context. The title says connecting an ocean to a river. That leaves those of us not from the area with a very different idea of what's actually going on here. Thank you to those who could clarify.

RIP 🙏 Freshwater Fishes.

I love how the surf dude knew how to make fun with it, so nice

Ok but the surfer literally running towards them as she’s laughing at him saying look at what you started lol

Just can't bring Grannie anywhere!!! Always starting sh!t! 🤣🤪

This is Aliso Beach in the California town of Laguna Beach. We've been doing the same thing all my life, 70 years, and undoubtedly before that.

In a Split second there i thought i just saw a Gorgeous Glimpse of Tarzan.😳😳

That's how Fred Flintstone created the Grand Canyon.

"All rivers run to the sea."

And that my friends is how the Great Mississippi River started years ago when that same woman visited Mississippi carrying her shovel.

California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife has written people up for opening up sandbars that retain water of coastal creeks and rivers… ☹️

911 what’s your emergency: Grandma is starting to make the ocean bigger. And this video is proof

Everyone has to buy bottled water in the entire area now!

"Thanks, Granny. You just cut the beach in half with a white water rapid, and my car is parked on the other side."

Guarantee that she made friends with all the surfers after this lmao!

Bro didn’t know that was illegal 💀

There goes the beach ⛱️

Somewhere on the river a man in his boat is wondering if the world is ending.

I think it's good! Splendid job!

Whenever i make sandcastles i make a stream but no water is there it just sinks into the sand😂😭

Legend says she drained all the biggest rivers to make the ocean.

that is how Niagara Falls started , some First Nation's Granny got a shovel for Christmas

Headline: Grandma triggered a statewide water shortage whe she singlehandedly divert a major river tributary into the ocean. 😳

Fish: *Why is it spicy* 😂

That granny is so cool 😎

People will just never learn to leave well enough alone.

My grandfather took me to do something similar. Reconnecting rivers to lake Michigan after dunes would block them off. Yes, they would work their own way out eventually. But it was a fun activity on those long summer days in the U.P.

Love how grandma digs a ditch & then hairy chest dude shows up! & Like LOOK WHAT YOU started!!! Hhhm I think, I will surf here!!! Thanks G- ma!!

Idgaf what she released, I love her energy while doing it 😭❤️

This happens in Laguna Beach all the time after heavy rains

Steve Urkel voice: “Look what you did”!😄

It’s totally safe to do this because at some point the river water would overflow the top of the sand and it would just happen anyways. It’s nature you’re just making it happen a day earlier than it probably normally would

Наш Тарзан-Анфибио!!! 🌊🌊🌊👍👍👍🌊🌊🌊👍👍👍!!!

"If you build it, they will surf!"🤣🤣

Wouldn't matter if it IS the river, that's where they all flow to anyway! Lol

I can’t tell you how bad I want to dive right into the waves 😂

And that kids is how the Mississippi River was connected to the ocean.

"MOM! The shower is not working! Did you pay the water bill?!?" "YES! WHY?" -

Granny has officially jacked up an entire ecosystem 😅

That is a covert tunnel bridge. It is like a huge ditch the allows water to flow through the city when it rains. It is not a “river bridge”. It would be constructed in a totally different way.

Why did we build the Hoover Dam? All we needed to do was call Grandma! 🤣

And now the bull sharks can come swim with the kids in the river...thanks grandma love ya

this is actually an annual thing it’s not grandmas doing

10mins later they say damn granny look at what you did now granny: goes i did what i didn't do that blames Alzheimer's

The face of the granny once she realizes this is illegal

With that big grin on her face - she's a troublemaker! 🤣🤣🤣

Bro that water is really polluted now

she found a chain reaction, and the surfing dude made history.

I would be diving in that thing no matter what happens to me👌🏼

Well in Beulah Michigan a guy had an idea to connect Crystal lake to Lake Michigan. This was in the 1800s The lake nearly emptied went down about 25 feet or so. And created the town that is now Beulah. That town was totally under water before he started digging. Not a smart idea to do. You can create a serious disaster.

Is it just me or that dude really looks like Jerry Seinfeld ?

А Бабуся Ничего!!! С Ней Весело❤!!!

Yes it’s really bad they are two different waters

Kids: hey grandma look at my digging Grandma: hey kids hold my beer, I’ll show you how this 💩 really works Grandma again: proceeds to connect a river to an ocean 😂

Granny's having fun haha like a kid with a shovel.

Meh, it will fix itself. Stuff like this happens a lot. Looks like fun to surf in!

Granny became a legend with the local surfers!

granny the menace 😂🔥💀

the fish in the river "Fred why is the water a bit salty?" "idk"

You've single handedly changed the future of the world🤣

Yes,it's bad for whatever lives in the river

Grandma said they were doing this in the 60s no one had a video camera lol

The river at the end "well im dry"

This is a river bed in Laguna Beach California.... The ocean's waves wash up creating that sand barrier Once in a while

Old people waking up: welp I’m almost done here, come earth time to die too

She knows exactly what she's doing..... Saving a town in a flashflood.👍👏

Funny but in my country, the water would be going in the opposite direction 😂

I don't think that's the brightest idea granny has had

And they wonder why the rivers drying up! Lol. Thank granny🤣

guy was straight up shreddin on them waves didn’t expect that.

This really is a nice way to help beach erosion I would think. How it harms land, I can't say, but I would think let nature take its course, eventually it would evaporate or soak into the ground.

Ok so they have something similar at Camel Beach. I think what people need to understand that eventually this will happen on its own. I know it looks like they just made a crazy new river and drained an entire lake, but it will eventually stop when the river gets to a certain level and the sand will level its self out again. Its really not that much water in comparison to what is in the actual river. If its that close to the ocean its probably flooded upstream as well.

The amount for different videos in this in thing is crazy🏄‍♂️🌊

Notice two things. The sand is all wet meaning it has just rained. The town is hills up against the beach. This was pooled rain water runoff that needed a clearing. This "granny" has probably lived here her whole life and just knew what to do...;)

This is awesome granny

Grandma went from human+ to tsunami+ in powerscale😂😂
