Waves From Powerful Storm Pound Beach Homes in Southern California

What the coverage shows

The New York Times and CNN both frame the coverage around storm damage and risk, but the Times treats Hurricane Simon and Post-Tropical Storm Rachel together as a broader flood threat to Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. CNN is the outlier in narrowing to Tropical Storm Rachel and, in its extract, focuses specifically on homes in Long Beach being heavily damaged. The two outlets therefore diverge mainly in geographic scope and in whether Simon is foregrounded at all.
