Southern California needs some rest. One calamity after another, this region of America seems to be facing the most of Mother Nature’s wrath. Were the Palisades wildfires not enough that now a water dilemma engulfed this region? One among the thousands stuck in this adversity is the Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal‘s wife Kamia Adams.

Bixby Hill woke up drowning. Overnight, a water main burst, unleashing chaos, then, the relentless rain joined in, making everything worse. Streets vanished. Homes stood on the brink. Panic spread like wildfire. By 6:30 a.m. Friday, horrors struck the 700 block of Rancho Drive near Cal State Long Beach. Water surged—three, maybe four feet deep. Cars sat helpless, their windows barely above the flood. And still, the water kept rising.

Meanwhile, Kamiah Adams had more things that were worrying her. As a resident of Bixby Hill, she felt betrayed by the officials of the area. So, she took to her IG Story to inform her 816K followers about the trouble and disruption she was facing. But it wasn’t just concerning, Bradley Beal’s wife was upset and angry with the authorities. Thus she wrote:

“@longbeachcity completely failed its residents this morning!!!!!! Houses and cars completely destroyed!! Millions and millions of dollars of damage!!” However, this isn’t where the issue ended, she further wrote: “My mom called 911 at least 2- times between 430am and 7am when help finally started to arrive! Why is nobody talking about this!?!” Citing her anger and the problems Karina Adams faced, she also tagged news channels like FOX LA and ABC.

In a following IG Story, tagging the media houses Beal’s wife continued: “All because a water main broke. City took HOURS before they shut the water off, When my mom first called it was maybe 1-2ft of water.”

Well, it’s safe to say Friday for the residents of Long Beach wasn’t amusing. A broken water main and rain caused much damage to the 1450 inhabitants of Bixby Hill. It’s only natural for Bradley Beal’s wife to express her frustration as she surely was expecting some rapid action. However, the authorities failed to do so.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Kamiah Adams right to call out the city, or should we cut them some slack?

What happened in Bradley Beal’s neighborhood?

Long Beach’s Bixby Hill was sinking. A massive 24-inch water main burst, turning the gated community into a disaster zone. Worse, this wasn’t just any neighborhood—it was home to Suns’ star Bradley Beal. Water rushed in, swallowing streets and flooding homes. Dozens suffered damage. Chaos took over. Meanwhile, firefighters battled the rising tide, using boats to rescue two stranded residents. And still, the water kept coming.

Disaster struck at 4:30 a.m., right beside the historic Rancho Los Alamitos. Water surged through Bradley Beal’s neighborhood, flooding homes fast. Initial reports warned of nearly 100 houses underwater, some drowning in up to four feet of water. But city officials later lowered the count to 30. Still, the damage was done.

The worst of the flooding happened on Surrey Drive, downhill from the main break. Ted Eubanks, a 10-year resident of Surrey Drive, woke up to the roar of rushing water and rushed to his window. “It was like white water rafting,” Eubanks said. Meanwhile, residents with two-storied houses took refuge on the top floor, trying to escape damage of any kind.

Simply put, Bixby Hill and its surroundings turned into a pool of concerns and water as the broken water main and rain caused considerable damage in the area. Meanwhile, sharing her troubles, Kamiah Adams exposed the failures of the authorities of her neighborhood. At the moment, it’s not a great time in South California, as struggles post-wildfire and so on continue.
