Key Points:
- Authorities evacuated about 20 homes on the Long Beach Peninsula due to potential foundation damage caused by strong tides and waves, as reported by the Long Beach Fire Department.
- The homes, located along the Seaside Walk boardwalk between 63rd and 67th places, experienced powerful surf that breached a seawall, flooding the neighborhood with water and sand.
- Remnants of Hurricane Marie have contributed to unusually strong surf in the area, leading to concrete slabs cracking or buckling near the homes, raising concerns about structural safety.
- City officials issued evacuation orders as a precaution while building inspectors assess the stability of the affected homes to determine if they are at risk of collapse.
- Cleanup efforts are ongoing, with many streets still closed and crews working to remove sand and water amid continued high tides impacting the peninsula.
