The storm has caused major coastal flooding in Southern California, with some areas experiencing water levels 1.5 feet above predictions. Homes have been lost to the sea, and the situation is particularly dire in regions already affected by high waves and tides in recent months. Inland areas, including Arizona, southern Nevada, and Utah, are facing strong wind gusts of 45 to 65 mph, which could lead to power outages, property damage, and hazardous travel conditions. The ongoing super El Niño event is contributing to the elevated water levels, increasing the risk of further coastal damage.
