California coastal homes battered and bruised after weekend of intense waves and flooding

Boardwalk destroyed in Long Beach and homes damaged, while Baja California in Mexico and Las Vegas also affected Southern California coastal communities are picking up the pieces after a weekend of extreme weather brought flooding that overtook city streets and intense waves battered beachside homes. The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel hit Mexico’s Baja California over the weekend as well as southern California and Las Vegas.
