Catástrofes · Rachel remnantsRachel Dissipates After Flooding Homes, but Inland Flood Danger ContinuesEscrito 12 de outubro de 2026 às 11:14 UTCVerTranscrição0:09Waves flooded and destroyed several homes along the Long Beach Peninsula.0:13Rachel has dissipated, but coastal residents face damaged homes, and its moisture0:18has brought flash flooding inland.0:20The storm's weaker label doesn't remove the water already reaching neighborhoods.0:24How far has the danger receded, and when can displaced residents safely return?0:29A bulkhead failed along the peninsula, and waves continued flooding and destroying0:33several homes Sunday.0:35Some oceanfront residents had been under evacuation orders Saturday.0:38For those households, the immediate problem is damaged property and uncertainty0:42about when they can return.0:43The bulkhead failure gives a clearer picture of how water reached those Long Beach0:47homes.0:47Earlier descriptions also pointed to surf-breaching sand berms.0:51Those are different coastal defenses, and the damage along the peninsula is tied to0:54the failed bulkhead.0:56Officials haven't given an exact damaged home count or assessed financial loss.0:59Rachel was already post-tropical early Sunday, with sustained winds of 45 knots.1:04By dawn, its center was 130 miles northeast of San Diego.1:08At the final observation, Rachel had dissipated into remnants, with sustained winds1:13of 30 knots.1:14Those final sustained winds were about 35 miles an hour with gusts of 40 knots.1:18The remnants were 255 miles north-northeast of San Diego, moving north-northeast at1:2425 knots.1:25Heavy rain and gusty winds continued over the southwest.1:28These are Sunday's observations rather than a fresh position for Monday.1:31Long Beach and Newport Beach faced coastal flooding.1:35Farther inland, rain reached Las Vegas and Pine Valley in Utah, while a flood watch1:40included Salt Lake Valley.1:41Rachel's strongest early Sunday winds were southeast of its center, over the1:45northern Gulf of California.1:47Newport Beach declared a local emergency Friday after coastal water inundated Balboa1:52Peninsula streets.1:52Flooding spread across several blocks.1:54Flooded homes and breached sand berms were also reported there.1:57But city officials haven't confirmed those details.2:00The city warned that climbing on its protective berms could weaken their ability to2:03protect nearby homes.2:04Newport Beach's Saturday notice kept beaches open while closing Newport Pier.2:10Balboa Pier, and the wedge.2:12Police urged people to stay out of the ocean Sunday.2:15A blanket beach and pier closure was also reported Sunday, but the final scope2:19remains unclear.2:20Las Vegas reportedly broke its daily rainfall record Sunday.2:24The official rainfall amount still hasn't been confirmed.2:27Rock slides also temporarily blocked roads.2:29Partial closures were described on US 95 and Interstate 8, but their locations and2:33causes aren't clear enough to identify either highway as a confirmed rock slide site2:37or give a current reopening advisory.2:39Near Utah's Forsyth Burnscar and Pine Valley, between 150 and 3.50 inches of rain2:45had reportedly fallen since Sunday morning.2:47Flooding followed, with high flows in the Santa Clara River.2:50That local measurement describes rain already on the ground.2:53Utah forecasters expected the heaviest rain from early Sunday into Monday.2:58The flood watches listed areas included Salt Lake Valley, the northern Wasatch3:02Front, Bear Lake and Bear River Valley, and parts of western Utah.3:06The Pine Valley rainfall range applies to that affected terrain.3:10Rather than serving as a forecast for the whole state, the Utah Watch carried a3:13scheduled Monday endpoint of 6 p.m.3:15Mountain Time.3:16A separate flash flood warning from the Salt Lake City office ended Sunday evening.3:20The San Diego Rainfall Watch also had a Sunday evening endpoint at 8 p.m.3:24Pacific Time.3:24The San Diego Watch covered excessive rainfall, while coastal flooding prompted3:29separate warnings.3:30An earlier cancellation of the rainfall watch was reported, and later coastal3:33warnings were described as downgraded to advisories.3:36Complete updated alerts are still needed to pin down the remaining coverage.3:39Sunday's warnings can't all be treated as active Monday.3:42California's reported stockpiles include more than 4 million sandbags, over 50,0003:47feet of portable flood barriers, and 400,000 tons of rock for levee repairs.3:52Governor Gavin Newsom's Friday announcement placed the preparations within the3:55state's effort to get ready for winter.3:57California is pre-positioning emergency supplies, inspecting levees, and preparing4:01water infrastructure ahead of potentially severe winter weather.4:04Forecasters expect a strong El Niño.4:07Those longer-range concerns extend beyond Rachel, and the stockpile figures describe4:11statewide preparation.4:12Newport Beach's local emergency addresses the coastal flooding already affecting its4:16streets.4:17Rachel's organized cyclone is gone, but heavy rain and gusty winds continued after4:21it dissipated Sunday.4:22Updated flood observations and local notices will determine where the danger has4:26receded.4:27Along the Long Beach Peninsula, several homes
