• California Beaches Face Higher Seas and Greater Erosion Risk as an El Niño Kelvin Wave Arrives Within Weeks (natureworldnews.com) — San Clemente has declared a local emergency after Hurricane Marie's swells stripped sand from its beaches, leaving bluffs, seawalls, and the rail corridor more exposed just as an El Niño-driven Kelvin wave is set to raise sea levels. Residents near the coast are urged to inspect protective structures, monitor erosion, and prepare for king tides and winter storms that could bring flooding and service disruptions.
