Flooding affects Newport Beach and coastlines
Newport Beach declared a local emergency due to coastal flooding caused by an unusually high swell from Tropical Storm Rachel, with streets on the Balboa Peninsula flooded by at least a foot of water. The water levels surpassed predictions, reaching up to 20 inches higher than forecasted, resulting in damage to some homes and widespread street inundation. Officials are actively pumping water, rebuilding beach berms, and distributing sandbags as the storm's effects are expected to worsen over the weekend. Nearby areas also experienced flooding, but no injuries were reported.
