Seiche, the lush and landscaped La Jolla Shores property once home to famed oceanographer Walter Munk, was damaged last week when a tree fell over during a storm. The tree’s roots raised the ground about eight feet, damaging the guest house roof, compromising its foundation and breaking some underground lines Jan. 26.
Munk died in February 2019 at age 101, but his widow, Mary Coakley Munk, has been living in the main house.
She said she wasn’t in the guest house when the tree toppled and didn’t know anything was amiss until she couldn’t turn on the water around 6:15 a.m.
