California’s Long Beach Peninsula under Storm Surge
On October 11, 2026, Tropical Storm Rachel struck the Long Beach Peninsula in California, causing widespread damage to waterfront properties. New footage captured by Jake Gordon on October 10 showed the front of a yellow home torn apart by powerful waves, according to KTLA. Additional footage posted on October 11 revealed waves continuing to crash into the damaged structure, with tree branches, trash, and a broken boardwalk visible nearby. The City of Long Beach reported significant damage to the bulkhead between 64th and 66th places on Seaside Walk.
Officials red-tagged 13 beachfront residences as too dangerous to enter, according to KTLA. A mandatory evacuation order was issued for residents in the 6400 and 6500 blocks of Seaside Walk. Credit for the footage was attributed to Jake Gordon via Storyful. The storm’s impact on California’s coastline occurred separately from the event in Italy, with no direct connection noted in the sources.
Event Context and Verification
The event is distinct from the Tropical Storm Rachel mentioned in a separate report about California’s Long Beach, which occurred on October 11, 2026, and is not part of this synthesis.
Footage from California’s Long Beach Peninsula, captured by Jake Gordon, was shared on October 11, 2026, showing ongoing waves crashing ashore. The City of Long Beach’s report on bulkhead damage and KTLA’s account of red-tagged residences provide specific details about the storm’s consequences.
