What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Coastal flooding occurred in low-lying areas of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach on October 28, 2026. High tides, measured at 8 feet, 3 inches in Newport Harbor, pushed water over low seawalls. This caused water to spill into streets, homes, and businesses, requiring city crews to deploy sandbags and pumps.
