Hurricane Marie's Swell Forces Evacuation of 20 Homes on Long Beach Peninsula

Approximately 20 homes on the Long Beach Peninsula were evacuated on September 7, 2026, after waves from Hurricane Marie breached the local seawall and damaged foundations. The extreme high tides, reaching up to 7.2 feet, caused concrete slabs to crack and water to inundate garages and porches. Officials issued the orders out of caution pending structural inspections, while the city closed the peninsula to non-residents. This event highlights the growing threat of climate-driven sea-level rise and extreme weather to coastal infrastructure.

"Memphis Endures Day 4 of Boil Water Notice Amid Arctic Weather Crisis"

Memphis, with over 600,000 residents, is enduring its fourth day under a boil water notice due to broken pipes caused by sub-freezing temperatures, snow, and ice.
