Rachel 余威横扫南加海岸：长滩 8 栋建筑贴红标、海滨住宅强制疏散，纽波特海滩关闭所有海滩码头
长滩讯——热带风暴 Rachel 虽未登陆，却以巨浪与罕见高潮位在 10 日（周六）重创南加州海岸。长滩市长雷克斯·理查森当天宣布：半岛地区 8 栋建筑（13 个地址）被贴上红标、判定不得入内，另有 1 栋贴黄标；Seaside Walk 6400 与 6500 街区的海滨住宅继续执行强制疏散令，半岛车辆只允许居民进入。
破坏始于周五上午：巨浪撕碎了长滩半岛部分滨海步道，海水漫过堤坝涌上街道与庭院，一栋海景房的地基被掏空、濒临坍入太平洋。市府已向居民发放 7600 个沙袋，加上此前两场风暴，六周内累计发放约 1.5 万个。理查森坦言：“这种情况不正常——这个季节短短六周内已经是第三场飓风：劳动节的 Marie、接着是 Polo，现在 Rachel 又带来更高的潮位、更大的浪，侵蚀不断损坏我们的海岸和房产。”
国家气象局周六警告，从马里布到圣迭戈的海滩全部处于沿海洪水警告之下（洛杉矶县海滩警告持续至周日下午 3 点），周日上午涨潮前后出现破坏性海水倒灌的可能性最大，预计潮位可达 8 英尺；周日上午 6 点至晚 10 点另有高浪警报，浪高 4 至 7 英尺，伴随危险离岸流与显著海滩侵蚀。橙县的纽波特海滩已宣布进入地方紧急状态，关闭全市所有海滩与码头，抢修沙堤、架泵排水。
气象部门预计，Rachel 中心将于周六夜间在下加利福尼亚北部沿岸登陆，雨带周六夜至周日扫过洛杉矶与橙县，阵雨可能持续到周二，山麓与山区阵风可达 50 至 60 英里/小时。当局呼吁民众远离海滩、海滨步道与易淹路段，切勿绕行路障或驾车穿越不明深度的积水。
Rachel's aftermath batters SoCal coast: 8 Long Beach buildings red-tagged, oceanfront homes under evacuation, Newport Beach closes all beaches and piers
LONG BEACH — Tropical Storm Rachel never made landfall, but its powerful swells and unusually high tides battered the Southern California coast on Saturday, Oct. 10. Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson announced that eight structures across 13 addresses on the Peninsula have been red-tagged as unsafe to occupy, with one more yellow-tagged; oceanfront homes on the 6400 and 6500 blocks of Seaside Walk remain under a mandatory evacuation order, and vehicle access to the Peninsula is restricted to residents.
The damage began Friday morning, when massive waves shredded sections of the Long Beach Peninsula boardwalk, overtopped seawalls and flooded streets and patios, leaving one beachfront home on the verge of collapsing into the Pacific. The city has distributed 7,600 sandbags for Rachel, bringing the total handed out across three recent storms to roughly 15,000. "It is not normal that we see this type of activity," Richardson said. "Just in this season, this marks the third hurricane in just six weeks. We saw Hurricane Marie over Labor Day, which was followed soon by Hurricane Polo, and now Rachel is bringing with it more high tides, more surf, erosion that continues to cause damage to properties and damage along our coastline."
The National Weather Service warned Saturday that a coastal flood warning covers beaches from Malibu to San Diego — through 3 p.m. Sunday for Los Angeles County beaches — with damaging sea-water flooding likely around Sunday morning's high tide, when tide levels could reach about 8 feet. A high surf advisory runs 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday with 4- to 7-foot waves, dangerous rip currents and significant beach erosion. In Orange County, Newport Beach declared a local emergency and closed all city beaches and piers while crews rebuilt sand berms and ran pumps.
Forecasters expect Rachel's center to move onshore in northern Baja California on Saturday night, with rain spreading across Los Angeles and Orange counties Saturday night into Sunday and showers possibly lingering into Tuesday; gusts of 50 to 60 mph are possible in foothills and mountains. Officials urged residents to avoid beaches, coastal walkways and flood-prone roads, and never drive around barricades or through floodwaters of unknown depth.
