California homeowners evacuate as hurricane sends monster waves crashing into their homes
California homeowners were forced to flee their properties Monday as powerful waves from Tropical Storm Marie battered the Long Beach Penins
California homeowners were forced to flee their properties Monday as powerful waves from Tropical Storm Marie battered the Long Beach Peninsula, sending seawater over a seawall and into homes. Residents along the low-lying stretch faced another dangerous night of high tides and pounding surf after a stormy Labor Day weekend left streets flooded, houses damaged and sand berms washed away.
Firefighters went door to door Monday night to tell people at 20 homes along the seawall between 63rd Place and 67th Place that they needed to evacuate. A resident carries propane tanks through a flooded street on Sunday, September 6 in Long Beach, California.
First reported by New York Post.
