Tropical Storm Rachel remnants strip San Diego beaches, flood coastal roads
Original: Remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel strip sand from San Diego beaches, flood coastal roads
The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel have hit San Diego, washing away large amounts of sand from local beaches and flooding coastal roads. The storm's leftover moisture brought heavy surf and high tides to the Southern California coastline, damaging popular shoreline areas and disrupting traffic along low-lying streets. No injuries have been reported, but officials are monitoring conditions as erosion leaves some beaches narrowed.
Why now: Unusual tropical storm remnants reaching Southern California are causing visible coastal damage and flooding.
