Hurricane Marie's Swell Floods California Coast, Triggers Dangerous Currents

Hurricane Marie, a tropical system off the Pacific coast, is generating strong surf that has flooded coastal cities in California, including the Seal Beach pier, and closed parking lots until Wednesday. Authorities anticipate more than double the usual number of water rescues due to dangerous currents. The event underscores the impact of distant tropical cyclones on West Coast shorelines, with risks to public safety and coastal infrastructure.
