Key Points:
- Tropical Storm Marie caused massive swells that damaged at least 14 beachfront homes in Dana Point’s Capistrano Beach, with about a dozen homes deemed uninhabitable.
- Despite efforts to protect homes with boulders, high tides prevented full installation of protective measures, leading to significant structural damage.
- In Long Beach, powerful waves forced evacuations at 20 homes as seawater breached seawalls, causing flooding and debris accumulation in the area.
- Officials warn of continued dangerous 6-to-10-foot waves, severe coastal flooding, and life-threatening rip currents affecting Los Angeles and Orange County beaches through Tuesday night.
- Southern California residents are cautioned not to underestimate the storm, with NOAA forecasting a 50% to 60% chance of above-average precipitation from September 9 to 15.
