Evacuations Ordered in Long Beach Amid Storm-Driven High Surf
Residents along the Long Beach Peninsula have been told to evacuate as the community faces severe storms and high tides, driven by Tropical Storm Marie. Intense waves, some towering over 8 feet, have caused significant damage, prompting evacuations of dozens of homes, especially along the Long Beach Boardwalk. Officials report that powerful surf continues to erode the coastline, creating hazardous conditions for residents. Cleanup efforts are already underway in nearby Seal Beach, where high surf has flooded the boardwalk and prompted further concerns. Local crews are racing to reconstruct defenses as the ocean keeps encroaching on properties.
