King tides inundate streets and flood homes and businesses along both US coasts
Forecasters said the tides were worsened by weather patterns and super El Niño, with flood warnings in Florida and record-level tides expected in Southern California.
- King tides have inundated parts of both coasts, flooding streets and homes in California, Florida, and the Carolinas. The tides began with the full moon earlier this week and could persist through the weekend.
- Along the California coast, warmed ocean temperatures from an ongoing super El Niño have led to increased seawater volume. Roger Gass, a National Weather Service meteorologist with the Bay Area forecast office, noted tides peaked 1.9 feet above normal in Northern California.
- Virginia Key, a barrier island in Miami, saw its highest king tide in three decades, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Fisher. Fort Lauderdale visitors navigated flooded streets to reach the world's largest-in-water boat show.
- Southern California residents in Huntington Beach placed sandbags outside homes Wednesday to block floodwaters. Officials closed stretches of the Pacific Highway as tides approached record levels in Orange and San Diego counties.
- The National Weather Service warned coastal conditions will remain rough through the weekend, with high risks of rip currents and strong surf. Fisher advised the public to "stay away from the beaches" during the hazardous period.
