Rampen · Mission Beach floodingMission Beach flooding: Berm breach sends seawater into a home and puppy rescue yardGeschreven 28 oktober 2026 om 02:20 UTCKijkenTranscript0:07Seawater broke through a sand berm and flooded a Mission Beach home.0:10On October20,5 , we reported that exceptionally high tides threatened low, lying0:15coastal property.0:16Now water has entered a home and a puppy rescue's yard.0:19Can the city's reinforcement and pumping protect those properties from the next high0:22tides?0:23The berm gave way Monday morning, October26 in San Diego's Mission Beach.0:27Seawater crossed the sidewalk and reached front doors.0:30The nearby tide figure comes from La Jolla, a separate location farther north along0:34the coast.0:34Neighbors called Debolyn Kovalik to tell her the barrier had broken and water was0:38rushing toward her home.0:39Inside, water sloshed underfoot.0:41She said Mission Beach had flooded before, but the water had never previously0:45reached inside her house.0:46She described it coming through the sliding glass door and spreading all the way0:49through.0:50Kovalik expected damage behind the baseboards, all the drywall behind the0:53baseboards.0:54Yeah, tea here is going to be some damage, she said.0:57The full extent and repair cost aren't known yet.0:59Her immediate concern was keeping the water from getting inside again.1:02A couple of houses away, Jackie Nipper said her yard filled within seconds.1:06She described a tiny gap that let water through.1:09Every effort that we tried to make to keep it from coming in today failed.1:12She said, Nipper runs Mission Bay Puppy Rescue.1:15Puppies play in that yard, and prospective adopters meet them there.1:18Residents waited through ni, deep water to enter and leave homes before the tide1:22receded.1:23Camilla Fever, visiting from Arizona, encountered that water returning from a1:27morning beach walk.1:28She said the muck reached her knees, and she showered immediately afterward.1:36Christopher McGuinness said he'd lived in Mission Beach for thirty years and had1:39never seen flooding like it.1:41He'd expected the berms to provide protection.1:43He estimated the water was about a foot above prediction.1:46That was his estimate.1:47The Weather Service's wider coastal measurements showed an even larger departure1:51from the expected tide.1:52High tides across the warning area ran one point five to one point seven feet above1:56astronomical predictions, the levels expected from tidal cycles.1:59Lauela's Monday tide was reported as nearly eight feet.2:03Those figures described coastal water levels relative to a reference.2:06Rather than depth inside homes, the exact La Hoya peak still isn't known, so the2:11rounded reading can't settle whether it exceeded eight feet or the earlier record.2:15Warmer ocean water and a Kelvin wave, a broad ocean disturbance that can raise2:19coastal sea levels contributed to the unusually elevated water during this El Nio2:23season.2:24The local forecast called for morning tides above seven feet on Tuesday, October2:28twenty, seven, and Wednesday, October twenty-eight.2:31Those were expected peaks.2:33The warning covered coastal areas of San Diego and Orange Counties, and its2:36announced schedule extended beyond Wednesday's forecast high tide.2:39Conflicting end times could leave residents with very different expectations.2:43The competing end times were Tuesday at one and Thursday at one.2:47The warning text set Thursday, October twenty, nine at one p.2:50As the hazards scheduled end, a later Tuesday bulletin retained that Thursday2:54schedule.2:55We haven't confirmed the warning's live status.2:57An earlier alerts metadata also listed Tuesday at two thirty p.3:00m.3:01But the warning text continued through Thursday that metadata time shouldn't replace3:05the announced hazard end.3:06And the scheduled end doesn't promise that individual properties will be safe.3:10For residents, the practical concern is what the barrier can withstand when the3:14water rises again.3:15The city said crews were reinforcing the breached berm and using pumps.3:19Residents wanted a higher barrier, but no engineering assessment has explained why3:23it failed.3:24Whether that work protected these properties at the next high tide still hasn't been3:27confirmed.3:28Further high tides could inundate low-lying property and infrastructure, close3:32roads, and erode the shoreline.3:33Officials urge people to avoid flooded areas and use caution near the water.3:37Drivers shouldn't go around barricades or enter water of unknown depth.3:40Flood water can conceal road hazards, and its depth can be deceptive.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van
