The recent 7.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Northern California served as a stark reminder of the state's vulnerability to tsunamis.
Colombia's star midfielder, James Rodriguez, could be set for a surprising return to La Liga after reportedly catching the eye of Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone with his performances at the Copa America.
This wouldn't be James' first brush with the Madrid giants. Back in 2014, he signed for their city rivals, Real Madrid, for a hefty transfer fee. However, his time with Los Blancos wasn't entirely successful, leading to loan spells at Bayern Munich and eventually a permanent move to Everton.

The potential transfer holds further intrigue because of James' past comments. Three years ago, he revealed he could have joined Atletico before heading to Everton. It seems Simeone's admiration for the Colombian hasn't waned.
With James' contract with Sao Paulo nearing its end, a move could be facilitated for a relatively low fee. This would be an attractive proposition for Atletico, who are known for shrewd transfer dealings. James Rodriguez Eyeing Atletico Return After Impressing Simeone at Copa America
