Southern California is bracing for the effects of Hurricane Marie, which, although not expected to make landfall, is generating high surf and dangerous rip currents along the coast. Seal Beach is already experiencing flooding due to the elevated surf conditions. A coastal flood advisory is in effect for Los Angeles County beaches, with waves reaching between 5 to 8 feet. Despite the hurricane staying offshore, considerable rainfall is anticipated over the Labor Day weekend, raising concerns about flooding and hazardous surf conditions. Local authorities are urging residents and beachgoers to stay vigilant and prepared for potential impacts, while meteorologists continue to monitor the situation closely.
