Long Beach Lifts Evacuations for 20 Coastal Homes as Seawall Repairs Hold

Summary
Long Beach lifted mandatory evacuation orders Wednesday, allowing residents back into about 20 coastal homes after inspections found no red-tagged properties and only one yellow-tagged home.
Overnight seawall repairs held against the surf, officials said, after powerful waves on Monday damaged and cracked concrete around several homes.
The boardwalk between 63rd Place and 68th Place remains closed while cleanup and recovery continue, though the Claremont parking lot at 5400 E. Ocean Blvd. has fully reopened.
The evacuations followed rough Labor Day weekend water tied to remnants of a Pacific storm that battered Southern California's coast.
