SoCal hit by storm and high tides
California experienced unprecedented coastal flooding from Newport Beach to Long Beach due to a rare combination of Tropical Storm Rachel, high tides, a record-hot ocean, and El Niño-driven waves. Officials issued flood warnings and evacuated residents as storm surge, elevated sea levels from Kelvin waves, and king tides caused damage and temporary beach closures. Experts warn that such intense events may become more frequent during the ongoing El Niño season and with rising sea levels.
