NBC News reported that Southern California's coastline is experiencing severe erosion as record-setting king tides and storm surges have already begun to swallow homes, boardwalks, and beaches.

A resident described how his beachfront apartment building was overtaken by waves, with water reaching the second floor and causing structural damage that forced evacuation.

The coastline's transformation is attributed to an unusually active hurricane season that has produced multiple storms impacting the region.

Despite these ongoing impacts, NBC News noted that the worst effects of El Niño are still expected in the coming months, suggesting further coastal damage may occur.
