Tormenta tropical Rachel causa inundaciones costeras y lluvias récord en California y Nevada

Según The Guardian, las intensas olas y la inundación provocadas por los remanentes de la tormenta tropical Rachel dañaron viviendas e infraestructuras a lo largo de la costa del sur de California, y la lluvia intensa batió un récord en Las Vegas. Previamente, Sacramento Bee y Weather West advirtieron que la tormenta, con vientos cercanos a 70 mph, podría tocar tierra cerca de Tijuana y traer lluvia y ráfagas a San Diego y Los Ángeles. Según Los Angeles Times, se emitió una alerta de tormenta tropical para la zona, lo que llevó a evacuaciones de viviendas frente al mar en Long Beach y al cierre de playas y muelles en Newport Beach.

La tormenta hizo tierra en el norte de Baja California como sistema post-tropical, generando mareas altas y riesgos de inundación que mantuvieron vigentes los avisos de inundación costera durante la primera semana, informó Los Angeles Times. NBC 7 San Diego indicó que la alerta de tormenta tropical para el condado de San Diego fue cancelada, aunque las autoridades advirtieron que las inundaciones y el oleaje fuerte podrían continuar.
