"Long Beach halfway down from the tracks is trashed. Obliterated."
Machpi updated his blog and posted some 'after' pictures. His story and the pictures are a very disturbing first hand report from what happend in Long Beach.
"The coast to a couple hundred yards inland is absolutely smashed. Who knows how many people are still buried in the rubble."
"The street parallel to Woodward.. ...has a 200 yard barge sitting on it and where a house used to be."
