What happened
High surf and tides from Hurricane Rachel severely damaged Peninsula. Strong waves tore apart a section of the wooden wall and chewed at the shoreline, leading to flooding in homes and side streets. City inspectors declared two buildings in the 6400 and 6500 blocks of Seaside Walk unsafe to enter after the damage. Emergency crews were dispatched to repair the bulkhead and pump water off the streets.
