Southern California Neighborhood Flooded Due to Seawall Damage
A Southern California coastal community was flooded with two feet of ocean water after a seawall was damaged by a construction crew.
The Orange County Register reported workers were doing demolition work in Newport Beach and accidentally damaged the wall when high tide came in shortly before 9 p.m. on Wednesday, and water rushed through and into the neighborhood.
Fire Battalion Chief Brian McDonough says at least one resident reported flooding inside a home while up to 20 others had water in their yards.
Sandbags have replaced the damaged wall until a permanent structure can be built.
