More damaging surf expected to hammer Long Beach coast

Several homes are red-tagged. After powerful surf from Tropical Storm Rachel battered the Long Beach Peninsula over the weekend, KTLA's Monday report warned that the coast could face further damage.

That is a more serious chapter than the beach closures and coastal flood warnings we reported here earlier. The concern now includes homes already damaged by the ocean, not just keeping people away from the water.

"More damaging surf expected to hammer Long Beach coast" drew about 155,000 views in nine hours, already several times the audience a regular KTLA video typically receives in a full first day. The comments turned toward the vulnerability of beachfront construction, with viewers raising questions about building close to the water and permitting decisions.

KTLA has also moved into covering what comes after the waves. In "Long Beach Boardwalk shredded by damaging surf," reporter Chris Wolfe follows the city's work on a long-term recovery for the peninsula. The damaged boardwalk adds a public space to a story that had centered on oceanfront homes.
