Beachfront homeowners in Huntington Beach are being warned to prepare for potentially damaging tides ahead of Thanksgiving or face fines of up to $1,000 if they fail to take precautions. Residents along Sunset Beach began receiving notices from officials last week, giving them just three days to make changes to their properties before another round of powerful tides was expected to hit the coastline, according to NBC4. The notices instructed Orange County homeowners to clear drainage areas, remove or secure loose objects and install sandbags or other flood barriers approximately two feet high to prevent water from entering their properties.
