Post-tropical storm lashing southwest with coastal flooding, heavy rain and strong winds
Tropical Storm Rachel moved toward Southern California last weekend, with forecasters warning of coastal flooding, dangerous surf, heavy rain, and strong winds. Coastal cities like Newport Beach and Long Beach took precautions, with some residents evacuated and beaches closed as the storm approached. After making landfall in Mexico's Baja California early Sunday, the storm's remnants moved inland, bringing heavy rain to Southern California and the Las Vegas area. Las Vegas recorded record rainfall Sunday morning, and flood watches remain in effect across the Southwest as the storm continues to bring showers and flooding risk to the region.
