High tides cause Peninsula floods, Seal Beach contamination

The Long Beach Peninsula and Seal Beach experienced high tides Friday afternoon, causing  floods in the area.

A breach in the brim at 72nd Place caused floods at the Peninsula. Water  came down Ocean upto 67 Places.

While the high swells did not reach the homes at Seal Beach, the pier was closed until further notice after it sustained damage and due to wind conditions.

Heflin explained heavy rain causes flood to divert to the LA River and the San Gabriel River. Those rivers flow into the Long Beach area.

Seal Beach residents said that the high tides had been the worst since they moved to the beach many years ago.
