Southern California is reeling from the impacts of Hurricane Marie, which has unleashed powerful waves and flooding, leading to extensive damage along the coastline. Dana Point has declared a state of emergency as monster waves have red-tagged several homes, with at least 9 properties deemed unsafe. Residents have returned to find their beachfront homes battered and damaged, with some homes completely swallowed by the ocean. Long Beach has witnessed significant destruction, prompting evacuations as high surf persists. Experts warn that the effects of Hurricane Marie might serve as a preview of worse climate impacts to come, particularly with the looming threat of a Super El Niño. Cleanup efforts are underway as communities assess the aftermath of this unprecedented storm.
