More homes in Dana Point are at risk as high tides and coastal erosion continue to threaten parts of the coastline. The conditions are being blamed in part on large swells generated by the remnants of Hurricane Marie, which moved through the Pacific and sent powerful waves toward Southern California. Residents near the bluffs are watching closely as waves pound the shoreline and remove more sand and soil. Officials are monitoring the erosion and assessing the potential threat to homes and other property near the edge of the cliffs. Some areas have already seen significant loss of beach and exposed sections of the coastline. Experts say high tides combined with large surf can accelerate erosion, especially along vulnerable bluff-top communities. Residents are being urged to stay away from unstable areas and follow any warnings or evacuation orders from local officials. The latest developments are being reported by Tammy Trujillo.
