Massive flooding is hitting Long Beach, California, as extreme king tides and elevated ocean water levels continue to threaten coastal communities. Today, we’re taking you to Alamitos Bay, where water is flooding into surrounding areas, and the Long Beach Peninsula, where powerful waves have caused severe coastal erosion have caused extensive damage to beachfront properties, walkways, and seawalls. Crews are working to repair damaged seawalls, reinforce vulnerable sections of the coastline, and restore sand to beaches that have been battered by the ocean. With unusually high tides continuing, the big question is whether these emergency repairs will be enough to protect the homes along the Peninsula. In this video, we cover:
- Massive flooding around Alamitos Bay
- Damage to beachfront homes along the Long Beach Peninsula
- Emergency seawall repairs and coastal protection
- Dredging operations and beach sand replenishment
- King tides, elevated ocean levels, and the ongoing coastal emergency
- The fight to protect Long Beach from further destruction
