Long Beach officials prepare for tropical storm damage

Tropical Storm Rachel has unleashed destructive coastal flooding and powerful surf along the Long Beach Peninsula, worsening severe shoreline erosion previously caused by recent hurricanes. Waves breached the city's seawall and destroyed portions of the boardwalk. Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson issued a mandatory evacuation order for beachfront properties. Officials warn that unprecedented high tides could cause further damage this weekend.
