Southern California coastal communities are assessing damage after a weekend of intense weather, including flooding and powerful waves. The storm’s remnants, originating from Tropical Storm Rachel, impacted Mexico’s Baja California and extended as far as Las Vegas. Long Beach experienced significant damage, including the destruction of its boardwalk and damage to homes along the coast. Though Rachel had weakened to a post-tropical cyclone by the time it reached California, its effects were substantial. Streets were overtaken by floodwaters, and beachside residences bore the brunt of the relentless waves. Authorities are now focusing on recovery efforts as residents begin to rebuild and repair their properties.
