The San Pedro gauge at the Port of Los Angeles recorded 2.44 meters, its highest level since measurements began in 1923, while Newport Beach reached 2.53 meters and flooded streets and businesses.

Corroboration under way

One piece is missing to confirm

Several newsrooms describe the same fact, which is enough to publish it — not to confirm it. We are looking for an official source, another media family, or a witness on the ground.

Your description stays private — only the type and the area can appear, and only if other witnesses confirm.

What's missing to corroborate

  • An official source (local authority, prefecture, ministry)
  • A third independent newsroom
  • A witness on the ground to pin the exact area
