Southern California coastal homes damaged by intense waves and flooding

Coastal communities in southern California are recovering after severe weekend weather flooded streets and sent powerful waves into beachfront homes. A boardwalk in Long Beach was destroyed, and homes sustained damage.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel also affected Mexico’s Baja California and Las Vegas over the weekend.

Meteorologists said Rachel had weakened to a post-tropical cyclone as it neared California, but the storm still caused destruction.
