沿海洪水威胁未消：亨廷顿海滩、拉古纳海滩与圣克莱门特向居民发放沙袋
热带风暴“蕾切尔”残余云系带来的沿海洪水威胁延续到周一。国家气象局对洛杉矶县与橙县海滩发布的沿海洪水提示持续至周二下午2时，预报员警告，高潮位与大浪仍可能造成轻至中度沿海洪水与海滩侵蚀，危险的离岸流同样值得警惕。
为防范洪水，橙县多个沿海城市周日向居民发放沙袋，亨廷顿海滩、拉古纳海滩与圣克莱门特均向公众提供沙袋。拉古纳海滩市府周日一度担忧，承接橙县与河滨县内陆径流的拉古纳溪若与涨潮叠加，可能淹没地势低洼的市中心区域。
在锡尔比奇，警方周日以保护生命与财产安全为由，预防性关闭了海滩停车场。
气象局表示，周一、周二清晨高潮位约7至7.5英尺，大浪将在未来几天逐渐减弱。周末的风暴已在长滩、纽波特海滩等地造成海滨房产与木板路受损，纽波特海滩的紧急抢险仍在继续（本网另有跟进报道）。（来源：ABC音频新闻、国家气象局）
Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and San Clemente Hand Out Sandbags as Coastal Flood Threat Lingers
The coastal flooding threat from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel lingered into Monday. A National Weather Service coastal flood advisory for Los Angeles and Orange county beaches remains in effect until 2 p.m. Tuesday, with forecasters warning that high tides and large waves could still produce minor to moderate coastal flooding, significant beach erosion and dangerous rip currents.
To help residents prepare, several Orange County coastal cities distributed sandbags to the public on Sunday, including Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and San Clemente. Laguna Beach officials worried Sunday that Laguna Creek, which fills with runoff from inland communities in Orange and Riverside counties, might swell and join the incoming tide, flooding much of the low-lying downtown area.
In Seal Beach, police closed beach parking lots on Sunday as a precaution to protect life and property amid elevated surf and coastal flooding concerns.
Morning high tides of 7 to 7.5 feet are expected Monday and Tuesday, with elevated surf gradually subsiding over the next several days, according to the Weather Service. The weekend storm already damaged oceanside properties and a boardwalk in Long Beach and Newport Beach, where emergency flood work continues. (Sources: ABC Audio; National Weather Service)
