Long Beach is facing a new threat as Hurricane Polo approaches, following extensive damage from waves associated with Hurricane Marie earlier in September. Reports describe flooding of homes, destruction of vehicles, and significant damage to the Long Beach boardwalk.
Residents in the area express concern about the impact of another storm after already recovering from Marie’s effects. The New York Post highlights residents’ fear that the region cannot endure additional disruption. The Los Angeles Times frames the situation as a second test for the peninsula, emphasizing how the prior damage leaves the area more vulnerable as Polo nears.
